Business Jul 17, 2025

India's textile exports slipped by 2.07% in June 2025, landing at $1.59 billion compared to last year.
Meanwhile, apparel exports managed a small bump—up 1.23% to $1.31 billion.
For the April-June quarter, textiles dropped slightly (down 0.94%), but apparel jumped nearly 9%, helping overall combined exports grow by over 3%.

Global uncertainty affecting demand

Industry experts say global uncertainty is making things tough—think unresolved US tariffs and less yarn demand from China and Bangladesh.
Still, there's hope: strong orders for home textiles could boost yarn demand soon, showing the sector isn't giving up just yet.
