<h1>50% foreign tariff hike cuts state's textile exports, causes Rs 3,000 crore losses and risks thousands of jobs</h1> A foreign government's 50% tariff increase on imports has sharply reduced a state's exports, causing about Rs 3,000 crore in losses to a major textile hub and threatening thousands of jobs. The state chief minister urged the national government for immediate relief and structural reforms to protect domestic industries and workers. The disruption chiefly affects export-dependent manufacturers and labour-intensive supply chains in the textile sector, heightening risks to employment, trade competitiveness and the need for targeted policy intervention.
