Textile exports: India extends duty-free cotton imports by 3 months; relief for exporters hit by US tariffs

The Indian government has extended the duty-free cotton import policy until December 31, 2025, to alleviate the impact of the 50% US tariffs on textile exports. This exemption, covering various levies, aims to lower input costs across the textile value chain and enhance the competitiveness of Indian textiles in the global market.
