Tariff Relief Opens the Door to Bigger Order Books
India’s proposed trade deal with the United States is generating fresh optimism across export-oriented industries, with Textiles, Gems and Jewellery, Engineering goods and Agri-commodities expecting a meaningful upswing in demand. Industry leaders estimate that overseas shipments could rise by nearly 20 percent over the next five to six years, driven largely by anticipated cuts in US tariffs on Indian products.
For exporters, the easing of duties would significantly improve price competitiveness in the world’s largest consumer market, particularly at a time when global buyers are actively reworking their sourcing strategies.
Textiles in Focus: Apparel and Home Furnishings Lead the Charge
The apparel and home textile segments are expected to be among the biggest beneficiaries of the trade agreement. With lower tariff barriers, Indian manufacturers see an opportunity to reclaim and expand market share in categories such as garments, bed linen, towels and soft furnishings. Exporters point out that sustained growth will depend on timely investments in scale, technology and compliance. Key focus areas include:
- Capacity expansion to meet higher order volumes
- Faster turnaround and supply chain efficiency
- Greater emphasis on sustainability and traceability
- Value-added and design-led product offerings
If these factors align, industry players believe India can position itself as a reliable long-term sourcing partner for US brands and retailers. The ripple effects of the deal extend beyond textiles. The gems and jewellery sector expects tariff relief to unlock fresh orders and revive demand in key US markets. Similarly, engineering goods manufacturers anticipate improved access and stronger order pipelines as pricing becomes more competitive.
Even rice exporters stand to gain, with lower duties helping India widen its footprint and strengthen its leadership in global grain trade. Collectively, these sectors view the trade pact as more than a short-term boost it is seen as a strategic lever to deepen India’s export presence in the US.
As negotiations move forward, exporters are cautiously optimistic. If translated into action, the India–US trade deal could mark a turning point, reshaping order books, investment plans and India’s export trajectory for the coming decade.
