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.
