India textile sector sustainability push

Overview

In early July, Indian officials reported that more than 70% of textile waste is now being recycled, marking a major milestone for circular‑economy initiatives in the industry. By the end of the month, the focus expanded to advanced water‑reuse technologies and large‑scale investment. Manufacturers in Rajasthan began deploying SED’s low‑temperature evaporator (LTE®) system to treat wastewater as a resource, helping meet zero‑liquid‑discharge targets and cutting operating costs. Simultaneously, the state of Odisha, led by IAS officer Aboli Sunil Narawane, positioned itself as an integrated fibre‑to‑fashion hub, securing MoUs worth over ₹7,800 crore at the Odisha TEX 2025 event and outlining a pipeline exceeding ₹8,800 crore. The plan emphasizes upstream spinning, technical textiles, recycling and apparel production, with the potential to create up to 95,000 jobs. Together, these developments illustrate a coordinated push toward greener processes and significant capital inflows across India’s textile value chain.
