Indian textile industry seeks urgent U.S. tariff relief and financial support through March 2026.

The Indian textile and apparel sector has urged the government to implement urgent measures to offset the impact of rising U.S. tariffs, citing a December 2025 CITI survey. Industry leaders are calling for faster execution of the India–UK CEPA, exporter support schemes, extended financial relief through March 31, 2026, higher interest subvention, and expanded collateral-free loans, citing high logistics costs, limited market access, and payment risks as major export barriers.
