            <b>AIPMA: Shaping the Future of Indian Plastics on the Global Stage</b>
          </p>

          <p>
            For over seven decades, The All India Plastics Manufacturers&#39; Association (AIPMA) has been
            a driving force behind the growth and global positioning of India&#39;s plastic industry.
            Representing a vibrant network of MSMEs, AIPMA continues to lead with purpose, vision,
            and determination.
          </p>

          <p>In a bold step forward, AIPMA is proud to present the Country-wise Export Book, featuring
            detailed insights and export trends from 21 major international markets</p>
          <p>Recognizing the vast untapped potential in global trade, AIPMA has established a dedicated
            Export Cell to help MSME manufacturers and Exporters for boosting finished plastic product
            exports and strengthen India&#39;s global footprint.</p>
          <p>As global sourcing preferences shift, India is emerging as a trusted destination for quality
            and scale. AIPMA has identified a need to connect Manufacturers and Exporters of Plastic
            Finished Goods with Importers across the world. This initiative encourages Indian
            manufacturers to participate internationally - as exhibitors or delegates - with AIPMA
            supporting MSMEs throughout the process.</p>
          <p>To amplify India&#39;s global visibility, Under the guidance and leadership of AIPMA&#39;s visionary
            governing council chairman Shri Arvindbhai Mehta we are launching PLASTIWORLD, a
            focused international exhibition promoting plastic exports and imports, with the goal of
            making it a globally recognized platform on par with Ambiente, ASD Online, and Canton Fair.</p>
          <p>One of the flagship events is PLASTIWORLD, scheduled at the Jio World Convention Centre,
            Mumbai, from 23rd – 25th March, 2026 - a dedicated showcase of India&#39;s strength in
            finished plastic products, attracting International Buyers.</p>
          <p>In parallel, AIPMA is actively helping the plastic industry understand global market potential
            by compiling export data from top 21 countries covering 9 HSN Chapter Headings. This vital resource is
            compiled to empower manufacturers with actionable insights to identify new
            markets, analyse trends, and make well-informed business decisions.</p>
          <p>Let us move forward together-with collaboration and commitment-to make Made in India
            plastics a true symbol of global excellence.</p>
          <p>
