India’s textile industry finds itself at a defining juncture, shaped by a mix of strategic trade measures, evolving international alliances, and pressing domestic policy concerns. The government’s recent decision to limit textile imports from Bangladesh to only two seaports—Kolkata and Nhava Sheva—has created a ripple effect in the garment sector’s supply chain. When paired with the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and industry demands for regulatory reform, this development marks the beginning of a transformative phase for India’s textile ecosystem.
