New Delhi told the WTO that it has a substantial trade interest in the export of this fabric.
“India would like to propose that consultations mentioned above take place virtually on 23 September
to 26 September 2025 or on a mutually convenient date and time,” India told the multilateral trade watchdog.
The Committee on Safeguards has circulated to WTO members a notification dated September 16, 2025 by Indonesia concerning finding of serious injury or threat thereof to the domestic industries producing cotton fabric and a notification of proposed safeguard measure in the form of specific duty against the importation of these goods.
India exported cotton fabrics worth $8.73 million in 2024 as against $6.73 million in 2023.
In June, India sought consultations with Indonesia under the WTO rules on the extension of its safeguard measures on cotton yarn.
