Pabitra Margherita, Hon’ble Minister of State for Textiles, Govt. of India delivered a very inspiring speech, "Our vision is clear- to make India a global leader in sustainable textiles, to achieve this, we must remain innovative, agile, and committed to change.
The government will support the industry with policies and initiatives essential to turning this vision into reality. As we look towards the future of our textile industry,
I am confident that India will set new global benchmarks, fuelled by our spirit of self-reliance, innovation, and unwavering commitment to sustainability. Together, let us elevate India’s fabric to new heights of sustainability and global leadership.
He added India is rising to meet this challenge of sustainability with the Amrit Kaal vision, launching the technology mission to promote eco-friendly products, and the ESG Taskforce to adopt sustainability across the textile value chain.
Our 5F formula—from Farm to Fiber to Factory to Fashion to Foreign Market—is paving the way for India’s sustainable growth from fiber to the final product.
This strategy will position India on the global stage as a leader in sustainable textiles. The government’s integrated approach to sustainability, with initiatives like the National Technical Textiles Mission (NTTM), will further propel the industry towards a more sustainable future.
The minister further assured that under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India will achieve its goals of leading the global textile industry in sustainability".
