India’s Apparel Exports Dip 14.8% in Q2 FY25-26, CITI Analysis Shows

India’s apparel exports recorded a sharp fall of 14.8 percent in the July–September quarter of FY25-26, according to a recent assessment by the Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI). Drawing on data from the Press Information Bureau (PIB), the analysis reveals that export earnings dropped from $3,636 million in Q2 FY2024-25 to $3,097 million in Q2 FY2025-26. The contraction highlights ongoing weakness in major international markets and sluggish global demand for garments.

CITI further reported that in September 2025 alone, textile exports declined by 10.45 percent, while apparel exports slipped by 10.14 percent compared with the same month last year. Overall, textile and apparel exports together fell by 10.34 percent year-on-year in September 2025.

The Northern India Textile Mills’ Association (NITMA) along side the other trade bodies, industry associations & stakeholders such as PTAIA , CITI, SGCCI , SIMA recently met with the Jt. Secy – Ministry of Textiles & Secretary- Department of Chemicals & Petrochemicals to register their strong opposition against the Directorate General of Trade Remedies’ (DGTR) recommendation to impose an Anti-Dumping Duty (ADD) on Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG), a fundamental raw material for the Man-Made Fibre (MMF) value chain. NITMA cautions that the duty will deliver a devastating blow to the predominantly MSME-based downstream industry, imperiling millions of livelihoods and stalling planned investments.
