Apparel exporters rush to close spring '27 US orders

Apparel exporters in India are rushing to close their spring 2027 orders for the US market. This sudden move comes as India's apparel exports face a 10% tariff in America, and the threat of further tariff escalations looms large. The pressure to meet US demand before potential new tariffs kick in is causing a scramble across labour-intensive sectors, which are already showing signs of recovery after a sharp increase in August merchandise exports.

Why it matters

The US tariff threat is causing uncertainty for Indian apparel exporters. This could lead to a decline in exports and affect the Indian economy.
