\"\"New Delhi: Following the imposition of 50% tariffs by US president Donald Trump on Indian goods, India\u2019s textile and clothing exporters have witnessed an equivalent 50% drop in their US business, leading to mounting inventories and delayed orders, an industry-wide survey has revealed.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, the Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI) reported that around one-third of the respondents in the survey have said that turnover of their US business has decreased by more than 50%. For around 85% of these respondents, the reduction in orders has resulted in inventory build-up, reported Indian English language business newspaper Financial Express.<\/p>\n

The survey also found that around two-thirds of exporters have had to offer discounts of up to 25% to remain competitive, while 82% are grappling with extended credit cycles across the supply chain due to the tariffs.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver half of these exporters reported that the credit period has stretched by 3 to 6 months, placing a substantial strain on liquidity,\u201d CITI said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Additionally, approximately 40% of respondents indicated a rise in working capital requirements by more than 30%, underscoring the growing financial burden on the sector.<\/p>\n

The US accounts for 28% of India\u2019s total textile and apparel exports, making it the single largest market for the industry. Last financial year, exports to the US amounted to $11 billion, highlighting the sector\u2019s heavy reliance on the American market. KMS-13S<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
