It was the industrialization period going in the Britain. There were a lot of clothes mill set up over there so they needed ink to colour their clothes. Cultivation of indigo made soil infertile so they did not want to cultivate it on their land. This the reason why English people forced Indians to grow indigo on their land so to get the raw material for their industry at cheap rates.
Also they made india a market for their finished goods. They took the indigo at less price and sold the clothes to us at a very high price.
