• Union Budget 2026–27 positions textiles as a strategic/frontier sector, anchoring growth via employment, exports, rural livelihoods and sustainable manufacturing.
• Core thrust: scale (mega parks), shift to MMF (man-made fibre) & technical textiles, MSME/artisan liquidity, and a five-part Integrated Textile Programme.
