Shares of major textile companies such as Gokaldas Exports, Raymond and Welspun rallied up to 8% on Monday as India and the US agreed on the framework of an interim free trade deal, lowering US duties to 18% on most Indian goods.
The interim trade agreement framework, announced on February 7, has also resulted in the revocation of the punitive 25% import duties levied by the US on Indian goods for buying Russian oil. Import duties on textiles and other goods will be reduced to 18% from 50% by the US as the two countries implement the framework.
Following the India-US interim trade deal, Gokaldas Exports shares soared around 8.5% to hit a high of ₹847.95 apiece on the BSE in early trade on Monday. The stock later traded 5.47% higher at ₹823.55 at 11: 45 am.
