520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc The tariffs imposed by the Trump administration in 2025 sharply disrupted India’s textile and garment sector, exposing vulnerabilities arising from export concentration. This article examines the sector’s exposure to the tariff shock, evaluates the government’s policy response, and situates the recent measures within broader structural and competitiveness challenges. Short-term interventions—such as the removal of quality control orders on key man-made fibre inputs, import duty relief on raw cotton, and enhanced export credit support—have provided immediate relief. However, their longer-term effectiveness will depend on coordinated policy efforts. –Reproduced
