\"\"New Delhi: India\u2019s exports saw a sharp decline of 11.8% in October, dropping to $34.38 billion, owing to the high tariffs imposed by the United States. Alongside this, the trade deficit surged to a record high of $41.68 billion, mainly driven by a rise in gold imports.<\/p>\n

According to Kashmir Media Service, India\u2019s imports jumped 16.63% to an all-time high of U$76.06 billion due to high inbound shipments of the yellow metal, silver, cotton raw\/waste, fertiliser, and sulphur. This was revealed by Indian government data released recently.<\/p>\n

Earlier in September, the trade gap had increased to $31.15 billion which was also the highest in over a year. Crude oil imports too decreased to $14.8 billion in October from USD 18.9 billion when compared to the same month last year.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the 50% tariffs imposed on India by the US have started hurting textile and apparel exports. Almost all categories including cotton yarn, fabric, made ups, man-made fibres, jute products, carpets and handicrafts witnessed double-digit decline year-on-year (y-o-y) in October.<\/p>\n

As a result of the tariffs, textile exports decreased by 12.92% y-o-y last month while apparel exports fell by 12.88%, said the Confederation of Indian Textile Industries (CITI). Cumulative exports of textile and apparel also decreased by 12.91% when compared to October 2024.<\/p>\n

Garment and textile exporters said that US buyers are requesting for steep discounts in wake of tariffs, along with cancellation or postponement of orders and reduction in order volumes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
