India’s loom QCO faces industry pushback ahead of deadline
India plans to enforce QCO on weaving and embroidery machines from August 28, 2025. The SGCCI has urged the government to withdraw the QCO, citing heavy reliance on imported machinery and potential financial losses. SGCCI argues that the regulation could hinder the textile sector’s growth and technological advancement, particularly as India targets a $350 billion market by 2030.
