US tariff threat puts Indian textile exports at risk, CITI warns
Indian textile exports face a fresh risk. The industry body CITI warns that US tariffs of up to 100 per cent on major buyers of Russian energy could make Indian textiles uncompetitive in the US, our largest export market. If these duties come in, export orders and margins could suffer. Watch for official confirmation and review your US pricing and buyer mix.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The industry body CITI has warned that US tariffs of up to 100 per cent on major buyers of Russian energy could hit Indian textiles.

Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:This is a warning, not a confirmed duty, so track official announcements from the US and Indian governments. In the meantime, review your US pricing, buyer mix and order pipeline with your export advisor so you are not caught off guard if these tariffs take effect.
