US-India Trade Deal.

  My phone rang at 2:30 AM. It was a New York buyer I hadn't heard from in 8 Months. He didn’t say hello. He just asked: "Karthik, can you re-quote the Fall '26 collection with the new 18% duty rate? I need to move the containers." This is the reality of the new US-India Trade Deal. For the last 24 months, buyers like David left India for Vietnam because of the math. Vietnam was ~20% duty. India was punished with 50%. Yesterday, the math flipped. With the new Reciprocal Tariff cut to 18%, India is now the "Lowest Landed Cost" option for apparel. The "Vietnam Advantage" is officially dead. But I gave David a warning before he booked the capacity: "The duty is lower, but the energy bill is coming." The deal requires India to stop buying discounted Russian oil. That means factory power costs are about to jump to global rates. If your manufacturer hasn't locked in energy contracts, your "cheap quote" will explode in Q2.
