The Finance Minister’s vision for accelerating growth through investment in people, innovation, and sustainable manufacturing is a welcome step for the textile and apparel sector. The ₹20,000 crore investment in innovation and the establishment of a Deep Tech Fund will be instrumental in driving the adoption of next-gen technologies. This, combined with the five-year Mission for Cotton Productivity, will ensure a resilient, sustainable, and high-quality raw material pipeline—critical for advancing responsible fashion. Additionally, the Saksham Anganwadi and Poshan 2.0 initiative reinforces the need for human capital development, ensuring long-term economic resilience. At Good Fashion Fund, we remain committed to supporting manufacturers in India’s textile ecosystem by facilitating access to capital for sustainable and disruptive production solutions, aligning with India’s ambition to become a global hub for sustainable fashion.
