“The Union Budget 2026-27 is a resounding win for India’s textile sector, with Rs 5,272 crore allocation a 19% jump, fueling self-reliance and growth. The five-part integrated programme shines: National Fibre Scheme for silk, wool, jute, and man-made fibres; cluster modernisation via Textile Expansion Scheme; dedicated Handloom/Handicraft support; Tex-Eco for sustainability; and Samarth 2.0 skilling. Mega parks, PLI boosts, and MSME funds will supercharge exports, jobs, and innovation. As an expert, I see this as a blueprint to hit Rs 1.5 lakh crore exports by 2030, empowering 45 million workers. Bravo, time to weave global dominance!”
