Leading Indian management consulting firm Primus Partners has launched a detailed roadmap to boost India’s textile exports to $100 billion over the next five years.

Titled “Roadmap for $100 Billion Exports in 5 Years: Six Recommendations that Will Drive the Textile Industry,” the strategy outlines six key focus areas such as Industry 4.0 Integration; Free Trade Agreements & Market Access; Operational Subsidies; Skilling the Workforce: Scaling MSMEs; Technical Textiles Expansion.

Kanishk Maheshwari, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Primus Partners, emphasizes, these six strategic steps form a practical blueprint for India to lead global textile manufacturing. With a mix of policy reform, market diversification, investment attraction, and infrastructure upgrades, India can become a preferred sourcing hub, particularly for the US and UK.

One of the country's oldest and most vital sectors, India’s textile industry, contributes around 2.3 per cent to India’s GDP, 13 percent to industrial production, and 10.5 per cent to total exports. Globally, India ranks as the second-largest producer of textiles and apparel and the fifth-largest exporter, offering a wide range of products from garments and home textiles to technical fabrics.

As global trade dynamics evolve and new tariff frameworks take shape, this roadmap positions India’s textile sector for transformative growth. Strategic execution and government backing could unlock massive export potential, creating jobs, strengthening supply chains, and cementing India’s status as a global textile powerhouse.
