Indian exporters expect strong festive season orders for textiles and food products

Indian exporters are anticipating a stronger festive season with substantial increases in orders. Textile shipments to the US for the holiday season have seen considerable growth compared to previous years. Food product exports to Europe and the Gulf Cooperation Council region are also witnessing strong demand.

However, exporters continue to grapple with operational hurdles including elevated freight costs and shortages of shipping containers. Trade policy compliance and import requirements across key markets remain ongoing concerns affecting business planning.
