Textile Sector Attracts Rs 60,000 Crore Investments In 2025
India’s textile sector secured investment commitments of over Rs 60,000 crore in 2025, with officials expecting the momentum to carry into 2026, driven by PM MITRA parks, the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme and sustainability-led projects.
Under the PM MITRA initiative, committed investments have crossed Rs 14,000 crore, with potential to generate over 38,000 jobs. Authorities have also received interest worth an additional Rs 10,000 crore from companies, including Vardhman Group, Trident Group, Best Corporation and Bhilosa Industries.
The revamped PLI scheme has drawn 85 applicants with proposed investments exceeding Rs 20,000 crore.
Foreign investors are also expanding their footprint. Infinited Fiber Company has committed Rs 4,000 crore in Andhra Pradesh, while Royal Golden Eagle announced a Rs 4,953 crore project in Tamil Nadu. Hyosung is investing Rs 1,850 crore in a tyre cord facility in Maharashtra. A joint venture between Toray Industries and MAS Holdings is coming up in Odisha with Rs 1,215 crore investment, while Epic Group has signed a Rs 500 crore JV in garments.
Domestic majors such as Reliance Industries, Grasim Industries, Welspun Group and SRF Ltd continue to expand in fibres and technical textiles.
Sustainability is emerging as a key theme. Filatex India has announced a ₹300 crore chemical recycling-based polyester plant, expected to be operational by end-2026.
Officials said investments in recycling, decarbonisation, biomass energy and new-age fibres are expected to remain central to sectoral growth in the coming year.
