India-Oman FTA may tilt apparel trade in India's favour

India is poised to strengthen its textile and apparel exports to Oman through the upcoming CEPA, potentially gaining cost advantage as tariffs drop to zero.
Despite past disadvantages compared to GCC rivals, India ranks among Oman's top three suppliers.
The shift from proximity-based to cost- and value-driven sourcing may reduce exports from competitors like the UAE, China, Turkiye and Bangladesh.
