EU Suspends India's GSP Export Benefits, Impacting ShipmentsThe European Union (EU) has suspended export benefits under the Generalized Scheme of Preferences (GSP) for India, Indonesia, and Kenya, effective January 1, 2026. This will impact India's shipments to the EU, particularly in the textiles, plastics, and other industrial sectors.According to the EU's official journal, the suspension will be in effect from 2026 to 2028. The think tank Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) estimates that this decision will subject approximately 87% of India's exports to the EU to higher Most Favored Nation (MFN) tariffs, while only about 13% of exports—primarily agricultural and leather products—will retain GSP benefits.Under the GSP, Indian exporters previously benefited from lower import duties. For example, apparel products faced a 9.6% duty instead of the standard 12%, but now the full duty will apply. This will increase costs and reduce competitiveness.Experts say this move comes at a time when India and the EU are in the final stages of negotiating a Free Trade Agreement (FTA). However, the FTA's implementation may take time, leaving Indian exporters facing higher tariffs and increased compliance costs in the near future.India's position in price-sensitive sectors like apparel could be weakened, and EU buyers may shift to duty-free suppliers like Bangladesh and Vietnam. According to FIEO, this decision eliminates an average tariff advantage of up to 20%.India-EU bilateral trade stood at $136.53 billion in FY 2024-25, with the EU being India's largest trading partner. Therefore, the withdrawal of GSP benefits is expected to have a significant impact on India's overall exports.read more :- Rupee opened 10 paise higher at 91.52

Brazil cotton output seen down nearly 10% in 2025/26 season, forecast producersBrazil’s cotton output is expected to fall by nearly 10% in the 2025/26 season, as planted area and yields decline, according to the first crop report released by the Brazilian Cotton Producers Association (Abrapa).Planted area is forecast to shrink 5.5% from the previous season to 2.052 million hectares. Average yields are seen down 4.7% at 1,866 kg of lint per hectare. As a result, lint production is projected at 3.829 million tonnes, a drop of 9.9% year on year.Abrapa executive director Marcio Portocarrero told Valor that growers’ decision to cut area is strategic. He said Brazil’s cotton sector is highly professional and is responding cautiously to a global environment marked by excess lint supply and rising competition from synthetic fibres as oil prices fall.High interest rates and tighter access to credit have also significantly increased production risks, he added.Independent cotton market consultant Pery Pedro said the sharpest decline in planted area is likely among farmers who do not traditionally invest heavily in cotton. Among large-scale producers, he estimates the reduction will not exceed 1%.According to Pedro, many medium-sized farmers with around 3,000 hectares of soybeans occasionally allocate part of their land to second-crop cotton but lack the infrastructure of large groups. These producers are more likely to cut cotton area in favour of crop rotation aimed at soil health, a decision driven more by agronomic than economic factors.He added that the area reduction is not directly linked to prices. Cotton futures in New York, the benchmark for the Brazilian market, ended 2025 down 8%. “The price environment is weak, but not dramatic. Current prices still provide sufficient returns for producers to maintain their cotton infrastructure,” he said.Planting of the new crop has begun across the country and typically intensifies in January in states where cotton is grown as a second crop. As of Jan. 8, about 18% of the estimated area had been planted, Abrapa said.Total cotton supply for the season is estimated at 4.76 million tonnes, up 17.6% from the previous crop. Despite the lower production forecast, Abrapa expects beginning stocks to jump 65.7% to 835,000 tonnes.Exports are projected at 3.2 million tonnes, an increase of 13% from the prior season.The chart below shows the year-on-year performance of Brazilian cotton exports.

BTMA announces indefinite closure of all textile mills from 1 FebThe Bangladesh Textile Mills Association (BTMA) has announced the indefinite closure of all textile mills across the country from 1 February, citing the interim government's failure to take steps to protect local yarn-producing spinning mills.The announcement came at a press conference at the association's office in Dhaka's Karwan Bazar this afternoon (22 January).Addressing the briefing, BTMA President Showkat Aziz Russell said, "We will shut down no matter what. We do not have the capacity to repay bank loans."He alleged that despite approaching all relevant ministries and departments, no effective support had been forthcoming."Every department is simply passing responsibility to others, like a game of pillow passing," he added.He said the industry's capital base has shrunk by half, and there is no viable mechanism to repay bank loans. "Even if we sell off all our assets, it will not be possible to clear the debts," he said.Senior BTMA leaders were also present at the press conference.The decision to close mills came after the commerce ministry requested the National Board of Revenue on 12 January to suspend duty-free yarn imports under the bonded warehouse facility, a move intended to protect domestic spinning mills. Industry leaders warned that the measure could sharply increase production costs for garment and knitwear exporters, potentially raising import duties to around 37% and adding $0.30-$0.60 per kilogram of yarn.This prompted a standoff between textile millers and exporters, with top BGMEA and BKMEA representatives meeting Commerce Adviser SK Bashir Uddin to seek a review, while BTMA leaders separately met the finance adviser without resolution. The potential policy shift threatens to burden Bangladesh's $28 billion knitwear export sector and disrupt the balance between local yarn producers and garment manufacturers.read more :- Rupee fell 07 paise to close at 91.62 per dollar

Cotton Corporation of India Presents ₹8.89 Crore Dividend For FY 2024–25The Cotton Corporation of India Ltd. (CCI), a Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Textiles, today presented a dividend cheque of ₹8.89 crore for the financial year 2024–25 to the Union Minister of Textiles, Shri Giriraj Singh, at a ceremonial function held in New Delhi, in the august presence of the Secretary, Textiles, Smt. Neelam Shami Rao and Joint Secretary, Textiles, Smt.Padmini Singla. Shri Lalit Kumar Gupta, CMD, CCI handed over the cheque.The Union Minister of Textiles appreciated CCI’s consistent efforts and emphasized the importance of growth, efficiency, transparency, and innovation in strengthening India’s cotton and textile value chain. He underscored CCI’s pivotal role in ensuring remunerative prices to cotton farmers under MSP operations while maintaining equilibrium in the domestic cotton market.Reviewing the initiatives undertaken during the year, the Secretary, Textiles commended the management and employees of CCI for their dedication and performance and reaffirmed the Ministry’s continued support in achieving future milestones and enhancing the global competitiveness of India’s textile sector.The Secretary, Textiles further highlighted CCI’s backbone role in scaling certified cotton in India. Nearly 97% of certified Kasturi Cotton Bharat—1.51 lakh bales out of 1.58 lakh bales—was produced by CCI, reinforcing quality assurance, traceability, and India’s growing presence in premium global cotton markets.During FY 2024–25, CCI achieved a turnover of ₹20,009 crore, marking one of the highest turnovers in the history of the Corporation. The dividend declaration reflects CCI’s strong financial performance, operational efficiency, and its sustained contribution to the Government of India, while fulfilling its mandate of safeguarding farmers’ interests and ensuring market stability.Strengthening MSP Procurement and Farmer OutreachTo ensure wider and more effective outreach under MSP operations, CCI expanded its procurement infrastructure by opening 571 procurement centres across 150 cotton-growing districts, compared to 508 centres in the previous season. The liberalised norms for opening procurement centres have significantly improved last-mile access, particularly for small and marginal farmers, while reducing transportation costs and waiting time.Farmer empowerment remained at the core of the Central Government under MSP operations through the Kapas Kisan Mobile App, with over 46 lakh farmers registered. The app has transformed MSP procurement into a transparent, paperless, and farmer-centric system, enabling self-registration, advance slot booking, Aadhaar-linked payments, and real-time SMS alerts at every stage—from registration and procurement to bill generation and payment.Procurement operations were being monitored through Local Monitoring Committees (LMCs)at each APMC, supported by dedicated helplines and WhatsApp numbers for prompt grievance redressal. Extensive awareness campaigns through print, radio, social media, and local-language outreach have further ensured informed and inclusive farmer participation.Digital Transformation and TraceabilityCCI has achieved100% traceability of cotton bales through its Blockchain-based Bale Identification and Traceability System (BITS), enabling end-to-end tracking from procurement to processing using QR codes.On the buyer side, CCI enhanced Ease of Doing Business through CotBiz, its online Cotton Seed and Bale Billing System. CotBiz facilitates faceless, paperless e-auctions, supported by real-time dashboards, digital contracts, invoices, and gate passes, fully integrated with CCI’s ERP system.read more :- The rupee opened 15 paise higher at 91.55 against the dollar.

US tariffs hit domestic economy, not foreign exporters US import tariffs are paid by Americans, not foreign exporters contrary to official rhetoric, according to new research from the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. The study finds that 96 per cent of tariff costs are borne by US importers and consumers, acting like a domestic consumption tax that raises prices, shrinks product variety, and depresses trade volumes."The tariffs are an own goal. The claim that foreign countries pay these tariffs is a myth. The data show the opposite: Americans are footing the bill,” said Julian Hinz, research director at the Kiel Institute and one of the authors of the study. The research, analysing over 25 million shipment records worth nearly $4 trillion, showed US customs revenue rose by around $200 billion in 2025, while foreign exporters absorbed only four per cent of the burden. Trade volumes collapsed, but export prices did not fall, indicating exporters did not offset tariffs through discounts.Examining unexpected tariff hikes on Brazil and India in August 2025, the study found Indian exports to the US fell by up to 24 per cent in value and volume, while unit prices remained unchanged."We compared Indian exports to the US with shipments to Europe and Canada and identified a clear pattern. Both export value and volume to the US dropped sharply, by up to 24 per cent. But unit prices—the prices Indian exporters charged—remained unchanged. They shipped less, not cheaper," Hinz explained.Researchers conclude that tariffs squeeze US company margins, raise consumer prices, and force exporters to seek alternative markets, ultimately disadvantaging all sides.read more :- Deloitte estimates: 7.5–7.8% growth in FY 2025-26
Indian economy to grow 7.5-7.8% in FY2025-26: Deloitte India’s economy is expected to grow 7.5-7.8 per cent in FY2025-26, supported by resilient domestic demand, easing inflation, and a series of fiscal, monetary, and labour reforms, according to the Deloitte Global Economics Research Centre’s report, ‘India Economic Outlook, January 2026.’ Growth is projected to moderate to 6.6-6.9 per cent in FY2026-27 as global uncertainties and trade frictions persist.The global consultancy said 2026 will be defined by resilience in domestic consumption, decisive policy reforms, and recalibration of trade strategy, as India navigates spillover effects from protectionist shifts in advanced economies, volatile capital flows, and higher tariffs on select exports.Despite these headwinds, India maintained strong momentum in the first half of fiscal 2025-26, recording 8 per cent growth, driven by robust private consumption and investment. Inflation averaged 1.8 per cent, its lowest level in a decade, boosting real incomes and consumer confidence.Private consumption rose 7.9 per cent year-on-year (YoY) in the second quarter (Q2), supported by tax relief, goods and services tax (GST) rationalisation, and favourable monsoon conditions. At the same time, government capital expenditure accelerated, with utilisation reaching 51.8 per cent in the first half of the fiscal, lifting gross fixed capital formation growth to 7.6 per cent.On the production side, gross value added (GVA) expanded 8.1 per cent in Q2, led by manufacturing growth of 9.1 per cent and services growth of 9.2 per cent.Deloitte noted that policy co-ordination played a central role in cushioning the economy. Fiscal measures focused on boosting disposable incomes and sustaining infrastructure investment, while the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) delivered a cumulative 125-basis-point rate cut in 2025 to support credit growth and domestic demand. The long-pending labour codes, implemented in 2025, are expected to improve ease of doing business and accelerate job formalisation.On the external front, India continued to diversify trade partnerships through agreements with the UK, New Zealand, Oman, and European Free Trade Association (EFTA), while expanding engagement with emerging markets across Africa, Southeast Asia, and West Asia. However, delays in the proposed United States (US)-India trade agreement remain a key risk for exporters.Deloitte estimated that in the absence of a US-India trade agreement, American tariffs could shave 0.3-0.4 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from Indian exports, likely keeping goods export growth subdued in the near-term.Looking ahead, policy priorities must transition from demand-led support to supply-side reforms such as GST 2.0, improved logistics efficiency, and productivity gains to sustain growth and strengthen resilience against future global shocks, Deloitte noted.read more :- CAD to reach 2.3% of GDP in FY26 Q3: ICRA
Indian CAD to widen to 13-quarter high of 2.3% of GDP in Q3 FY26: ICRA India’s merchandise trade deficit (MTD) widened to a higher-than-expected $25 billion in December last year from $20.6 billion in December 2024, amid a sustained double-digit growth in non-oil non-gold imports, even as export growth was muted at just 1.9 per cent year on year (YoY) in the month, according to ICRA.With a material widening in the MTD in Q3 FY26 compared to the year-ago quarter, ICRA projected the current account deficit (CAD) to surge to 2.3 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) in Q3 FY26, which would be the highest level in last 13 quarters.The current account is likely to seasonally turn favourable in Q4 FY26 to a mild surplus of sub-1 per cent of GDP. Overall, ICRA estimates the FY26 CAD at a benign 0.8 per cent of GDP.India’s merchandise exports inched up by 1 per cent sequentially to $38.5 billion in December 2025. However, merchandise imports increased by a stronger 8.8 per cent YoY and 1.4 per cent month on month (MoM) to $63.6 billion in December 2025. Consequently, the MTD rose to $25 billion in December 2025 from $20.6 billion in the year ago month.Exports to the United States remained stable at $6.9 billion in December 2025 compared to November, while displaying a YoY dip of 1.8 per cent. In contrast, shipments to non-US regions rose by 2.7 per cent after a nearly 6-per cent average growth during July-November 2025.read more :- India's textile sector: hub of jobs
India’s textile sector emerging as major jobPrime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday highlighted the rapid transformation of India’s textile sector into a powerful, job-creating and people-centric engine of growth, stating that it reflects the true spirit of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.The Prime Minister shared an article authored by Union Minister for Textiles Giriraj Singh, which outlines how the sector has evolved from a legacy industry into a modern driver of employment, investment and exports.In a post on X, PM Modi said, “In this article, Union Minister Shri Giriraj Singh outlines the rise of India’s textile sector from a legacy industry to a powerful, job-creating, people-centric engine of growth, embodying the true spirit of Aatmanirbhar Bharat. He highlights that PM MITRA Parks, PLI schemes and new Free Trade Agreements are creating the next wave of employment.”In his article, Singh said that India’s textile resurgence is anchored in strong domestic demand and rising consumption. With a population of over 140 crore, India has emerged as one of the world’s most resilient textile markets. The domestic textile market expanded from around ₹8.4 lakh crore to an estimated ₹13 lakh crore over the past five years.Consumption trends further reinforce this momentum. Per capita textile consumption has nearly doubled over the last decade – from about ₹3,000 in 2014–15 to over ₹6,000 in 2024-25 – and is projected to double again to ₹12,000 by 2030, the minister noted.Export performance has mirrored this demand-led growth. Textile and apparel exports rose from ₹2.49 lakh crore in 2019-20, the year the COVID-19 pandemic struck, to nearly ₹3.5 lakh crore in 2024-25, registering around 28 per cent growth in the post-Covid period. This rebound, the minister said, highlights India’s ability to rapidly scale manufacturing as global demand recovers and convert export growth into employment across the textile value chain.The article places particular emphasis on the PM Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) Parks scheme. The government expects investments worth ₹18,500 crore to flow into the sector based on proposals received under the initiative, which aims to boost production, employment and exports.Once operational, PM MITRA Parks are expected to attract investments of around ₹10,000 crore and generate approximately three lakh direct and indirect jobs, significantly strengthening India’s textile manufacturing ecosystem.read more :- Rupee opens 22 paise down at 91.19

India removes growth penalty, boosts credit flow in export scheme India has revised its export credit framework to better support MSMEs as they scale up. The most significant reform allows exporters that graduate out of the MSME category due to higher turnover or investment to continue availing interest subvention for three years after reclassification, subject to conditions.The Directorate General of Foreign Trade’s (DGFT) Trade Notice No. 22/2025–26 dated January 16, 2026, amends the guidelines for Interest Subvention Support for pre- and post-shipment export credit under the Export Promotion Mission – Niryat Protsahan and is widely seen as MSME-friendly.Earlier, exporters faced an abrupt withdrawal of benefits once they crossed MSME thresholds, often at a stage when working-capital needs rose sharply. The three-year transition window now provides continuity and predictability, reducing the fear of scaling up and supporting capacity expansion.The notification also clarifies that revised interest subvention rates will apply only to export credit sanctioned after the date of notification, while existing loans will continue under the rates applicable at the time of sanction. This removes retrospective uncertainty and protects exporters’ financial planning.In another growth-supportive move, the DGFT has confirmed that for fiscal 2025–26, the full annual interest subvention ceiling will apply regardless of when export credit is sanctioned or utilised during the year, benefitting MSMEs that access finance mid-year.By linking subvention to the actual interest cost borne by exporters, while simplifying reimbursement mechanisms for banks, the revised framework aims to ease working-capital pressure and improve credit flow. Overall, the notification signals a clear policy shift—from limiting benefits based on size thresholds to supporting MSMEs as they grow into larger, export-driven enterprises.read more :- Government removed QCO from import of textile machinery

As Indian cotton surges to seasonal high, CCI sells 1.14 lakh bales from 2025-26 cropThe Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) on Monday began the sale of cotton procured during the ongoing 2025-26 season, even as prices touched a seasonal high crossing the ₹56,000 levels per candy (356 kg).The State-run entity sold around 1.14 lakh bales on the first day of the sale, said Lalit Kumar Gupta, Chairman-cum-Managing Director, CCI. “Since mills need quality cotton, sales have commenced,” Gupta said. Till last week, CCI procured some 83 lakh bales.CCI’s sale price for the 2025-26 season is the range of ₹56,300-57,300 for the 29 mm cotton, almost similar to the last year’s levels. However, the trade feels CCI prices are slightly on the higher side compared to the market.Unsustainable“The rates are higher by Rs 1000-1500 per candy than what the market expected. We need to see the quality of the CCI cotton. If the quality offered is good, then CCI will be able to sell slowly. If the quality is poor, then mills will buy imported cotton at Rs 58000-59000 mill delivery including import duty,” said Atul Ganatra, Chairman, Crop Committee of Cotton Association of India, the apex trade body.On Monday, mills bought 61,000 bales from the 2025-26 crop from CCI, while traders bought 51,600 bales.Ramanuj Das Boob, a sourcing agent in Raichur also felt that the prices set by CCI are slightly on the higher side compared to market. “Mills, which have immediate requirement can buy in small quantities. I don’t think these prices will sustain at these levels,” he said adding that Rs 54,000-55,000 is the ideal range.Crop estimate upPrevailing cotton prices are at their peak levels in the ongoing season inching up from early January after the Government ended the duty exemption on imports on December 31. Also the firming trend in cottonseed prices has lent support to the raw cotton prices.“Cotton prices, which were hovering in the range of Rs 52,000 levels per candy at the start of the season in early October have inched up gradually and have crossed the Rs 56,000 levels. Before January, the price was hovering around Rs 53000- 54,000 levels. This is the highest price of the season,” Das Boob said.Recently, trade body Cotton Association of India (CAI) revised upwards the crop estimate for 2025-26 by around 2.5 per cent or 7.5 lakh bales of 170 kg each to 317 lakh bales on higher than estimated production in Maharashtra and Telangana. CAI has projected a year-end surplus 122.59 lakh bales for the 2025-26 season, up 56 per cent year-on-year on record imports of 50 lakh bales during the year. Imports till December 31 stood higher at 31 lakh bales. For the current cotton year 2025-26 ending September, CAI is expecting the imports to be at a record 50 lakh bales against 41 lakh bales a year ago.read more :- Rupee open Falls 03 Paise to 90.94/USD
