India's Textile Exports Rise in June 2026, Apparel Shipments Decline Impact Overall Growth
India's textile exports grew nearly 10% in June 2026, driven by segments like handicrafts and cotton yarn, according to the Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI). However, a significant decline of over 11% in apparel exports kept overall textile and apparel shipments nearly flat for the month. For the April-June quarter of FY27, textile exports rose 5.19%, but apparel exports fell 12.44%, resulting in a 2.95% year-on-year decline in combined textile and apparel exports to USD 8.81 billion.
