Textile sector to sew loose ends as FTAs kick in

Indian textile exporters gain tariff advantages from new FTAs, including elimination of up to 12% tariffs on exports to the UK.

The tariff cuts boost competitiveness against rivals and are expected to increase orders and export growth over several years.

Fragmented supply chains and higher input costs remain challenges for the sector.

Industry experts advocate for government incentives to strengthen domestic fabric ecosystems.
