Ludhiana Textile Units Hit by US Tariff Hikes, Facing Delays
Imagine India makes clothes and sells them to the US.
But now, the US is charging a much higher tax, called a tariff, on these clothes.
This makes the clothes more expensive and harder to sell.
Because of this, some companies in India can't ship their clothes.
This has caused problems for their cash flow and could lead to job losses.
The companies are now asking for help from their government and looking for ways to sell their clothes in other countries.
US buyers are putting textile shipments from Ludhiana, India on hold due to increased tariffs.
The US plans to double tariffs on Indian textiles, including a 25% levy for importing oil from Russia.

Companies are seeking government assistance and exploring alternative export markets.
Nearly 20-25% of textile-related jobs in Ludhiana are under threat.
