Garment exporters in the town of Tiruppur are reeling under pressure after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a 50% tariff on Indian goods. Known as India’s “Knitwear Capital”, this small but powerful industrial hub produced $5 billion worth of garments in the last fiscal year, with two-fifths of the exports going to the United States. The new tariff has hit the textile sector hard — at one factory, work hours have been reduced, and boxes of garments lie waiting to be shipped, reflecting the growing uncertainty and financial strain among exporters.
