US Tariffs Hit Indian Textile Exports, Job Losses Loom
Textile hubs like Tiruppur, Noida, and Surat have halted production as the US imposes a 50% tariff on Indian exports, making them uncompetitive against rivals such as Vietnam and Bangladesh, according to the Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO).
FIEO estimates 55% of India’s $47–48 billion US shipments now face a pricing gap of 30–35%. Exporters warn this threatens jobs, investments, and order flows in textiles, apparel, and other labour-intensive sectors like leather, ceramics, handicrafts, and carpets.
Industry leaders are seeking urgent government relief , including cheaper credit, loan moratoriums, export credit support, and fast-tracked trade deals with the EU, GCC, and Latin American countries. Diplomatic engagement with the US is seen as critical.
Exporters say US buyers are demanding 30% discounts to match competitor pricing, forcing firms to absorb losses temporarily. Without quick support, mass layoffs are likely, putting ?72,000 crore of textile exports and recent capacity investments at risk.
