Textiles

Hold

This sector relies on indirect export proxies rather than direct textile production data. Exports of goods rose 15.0% YoY (2026-06), the currency is weak at 95.23 (Sep/26), and export prices are 163.50, all of which can help exporters, though terms of trade at 102.30 are below the prior 114 in the snapshot context. FPI flows are modestly positive at INR 256 crore over 3 months to 2026-08-31, so the stance is mildly constructive but confidence is capped due to proxy reliance.
