What happened
The Indian textile and apparel sector is cautiously welcoming the US-Iran peace agreement, which industry executives believe could ease supply chain disruptions and lower input costs that have squeezed margins. Despite this optimism, India's textile and apparel exports fell 2.2% to $35.7 billion in Fiscal Year 2026. Separately, India's knitwear hub, Tiruppur, recorded record exports of Rs 46,000 crore in FY26.

Why it matters
The agreement raises hopes of restoring trade flows through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for crude oil and industrial raw materials that feed India's synthetic textile sector. Before the deal, prices for key inputs had risen as much as 25% during the conflict. Industry leaders suggest a stable geopolitical environment could support 10% export growth for India this year.
Financial Times reports indicate potential US investment funds for Iranian energy resources, alongside interest from European and Asian businesses.
