This study explores the dynamic landscape of India’s textile export industry, delving into its current performance, government-backed initiatives, and emerging challenges. As the sixth-largest global exporter, India's textile sector is pivotal to its economy, driving employment and foreign exchange. The research highlights key export categories, including ready-made garments and cotton textiles, with major markets like the USA, UK, and the EU. It also examines transformative government policies such as the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme, Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies (RoSCTL), and Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), which aim to enhance India’s competitiveness. Despite growth opportunities, the industry faces pressing challenges, including fierce competition, supply chain vulnerabilities, and environmental sustainability concerns. The paper offers strategic recommendations to navigate these obstacles, emphasizing innovation, sustainable practices, and global market expansion, positioning India to strengthen its foothold as a leading textile exporter.
