India–New Zealand FTA: A stitch in time for Indian textile exports

Indian textile exports to New Zealand, including cotton, home textiles, and garments, could benefit significantly from an FTA.
While raw materials already enjoy 0 tariffs, high duties on value-added goods like apparel and carpets pose challenges.
CECA could unlock major trade gains, particularly in women's apparel, if India secures duty-free access to New Zealand apparel market for high-value products.
