India-US trade talks stall for textile exporters

India’s textile exporters face uncertainty as trade negotiations with the US have stalled. A framework agreement was reached in February 2026, but a final deal has not been made.

The US is a major export market for Indian textiles. Uncertainty over tariffs could affect orders, revenue and profits. Some exporters have manufacturing outside India, which may help them manage risks.
