Trump Tariff Impact: Gokaldas Exports, Kitex Garments, KPR Mill, other textile stocks tumble up to 6%
Kitex Garments share price extended its losing streak for the 11th consecutive session and was locked in a 5% lower circuit for the third straight day. KPR Mill shares plunged 6.18%, while Gokaldas Exports shares fell as much as 3.86%, and Indo Count Industries stock price dropped 3.15%. Welspun Living and Pearl Global Industries declined 3.7% each.
The additional tariffs have been described by the US administration as a 'penalty' for India's continued imports of Russian crude oil. With these duties now 20% higher than those on Chinese goods, analysts warn that India's export competitiveness could take a significant hit.
Export-oriented sectors such as textiles, IT services, engineering goods, and auto components are expected to bear the brunt of the fresh US tariffs, according to market experts.
'The most-impacted sectors are textiles (Gokaldas Exports and Kitex Garments), chemicals (Camlin Fine Sciences, Aarti Industries, and Atul Ltd), and auto ancillaries (Bharat Forge, Suprajit Engineering, and Sona BLW Precision Forgings), all of which have significant export exposure to the US,' said Seshadri Sen, Head of Research and Strategist at Emkay Global Financial Services.
Gokaldas Exports derives nearly 70% of its total revenue from the US market. Indo Count Industries has a similar exposure, while US sales contribute about 65% and 50% to the revenues of Welspun Living and Pearl Global Industries, respectively.

US Senator Urges India To Use Its 'Influence' To Help Trump End Ukraine War
US Senator Lindsey Graham has urged India to use its "influence" to help President Donald Trump end the Ukraine war, hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Graham said that it will be "consequential" in improving relations between Washington and Delhi. "As I have been telling my friends in India, one of the most consequential things they could do to improve India-US relations is to help President Trump end this bloodbath in Ukraine," Graham posted on social media on Friday. Graham said that India is the second-largest purchaser of cheap oil from Russia, which "fuels Putin's war machine". "I hope Prime Minister Modi emphasised to Putin in their recent phone call the need to end this war in Ukraine justly, honourably and forever. I have always believed India influences this matter, and I am hoping they will use it wisely," Graham added. Graham was responding to PM Modi's post on X following his phone call with President Putin. Modi said he had a "very good and detailed conversation" with "my friend President Putin." During their phone conversation on Friday, Putin briefed Modi on the latest developments concerning Ukraine. "In light of the special privileged partnership between Russia and India, Vladimir Putin shared the key outcomes of his meeting with US President's Special Envoy Steven Witkoff," the Kremlin said in a statement. Prime Minister Modi thanked President Putin for the information and confirmed India's "unwavering stance in favour of settling the situation surrounding Ukraine via political and diplomatic means," it added. Modi has invited Putin to India later this year for the 23rd India-Russia Annual Summit. Graham has supported Trump's decision to impose additional tariffs on India for its purchases of Russian oil, saying, "Making those like India pay a price for their war profiteering is a good place to start."

Lula and Putin discuss BRICS cooperation, Ukraine peace ahead of US–Russia talks
The conversation with Lula is the latest of a flurry of calls between Putin and foreign leaders in recent days ahead of the Russian president's expected meeting with US President Donald Trump next week. read more Russian President Vladimir Putin attends a meeting with Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva at the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia, May 9, 2025. REUTERS Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday for about 40 minutes, the presidential palace in Brasília said, adding that Putin briefed him on talks with the United States and 'recent peace efforts' related to the war in Ukraine. According to the statement, the two leaders also discussed cooperation within the BRICS bloc of emerging economies and reviewed the current international political and economic situation. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The conversation with Lula is the latest of a flurry of calls between Putin and foreign leaders in recent days ahead of the Russian president's expected meeting with US President Donald Trump next week. Putin spoke to the leaders of China and India, both also part of the BRICS group of developing nations, and other presidents from Central Asia and Europe on Friday to brief them on his contacts with the United States about the war in Ukraine. Lula has been in a public spat with Trump since the U.S. imposed a 50% tariff on the imports of Brazilian goods, which Trump linked to an alleged 'witch hunt' against his ally and Brazil's former right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro. U.S. imports of some Brazilian products, such as orange juice and aircraft, received a lower rate. Lula told Reuters on Wednesday he planned to call the leaders of the BRICS countries, which also include South Africa, to discuss a joint response to Trump's tariffs on U.S. imports. The Brazilian leader spoke with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday. Trump has threatened BRICS nations with additional 10% tariffs last month, as the group gathered in a summit in Rio de Janeiro in July. With inputs from agencies
