<h1>Chief minister urges central government to urgently protect export-oriented textile industry after trading partner doubles tariffs to 50%</h1> The state chief minister urged the central government to urgently frame policies to shield export-oriented industries, especially textiles, after a trading partner doubled tariffs to 50%, arguing immediate relief is needed given the severe impact. The chief minister reiterated a prior request for a special financial relief package including a moratorium on principal repayments, and called for GST correction, credit support, and new free trade agreements. The state, which sends about 31% of its exports to that market, said its own subsidies and schemes are insufficient and urged central intervention.
