India Temporarily Scraps Cotton Import Duty for Textile Sector

The Indian government has removed the tax on imported raw cotton until the end of September.

This is to help the textile industry, which makes clothes and other fabrics, by lowering their costs.

The change will also help them compete in other countries, especially since the US has increased tariffs on Indian goods.

This means businesses can buy cotton more cheaply.

The government hopes this will make Indian textile exports stronger and keep cotton prices stable.

Some groups in the industry pushed for this change due to rising costs.
