The Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) has set an ambitious target of achieving ₹2.51 lakh crore in business by the end of the financial year 2027, following a record performance of approximately ₹1.87 lakh crore in FY 2026. KVIC Chairman Manoj Kumar emphasized the sector's potential for employment generation, stating that Khadi Gram Udyog currently employs over 2 crore people in India. The commission is focused on strengthening the entire ecosystem related to khadi production, sales, and post-sales activities to ensure sustainable livelihoods. Kumar highlighted the significant role of the Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP), which has provided ₹30,000 crore in margin money, aiding the establishment of more than 10 lakh units. Additionally, KVIC is preparing to launch an e-commerce platform to meet the growing demand for khadi products, particularly among the youth, who have increasingly embraced khadi as a fashion statement. The sector's transformation has been marked by initiatives such as participation in international fashion events.
