NEW DELHI, Sept 4 (Reuters) - India's overhaul of consumer tax stands to make everything from soaps to luxury SUVs cheaper, but global fashion brands such as Zara, Levi Strauss LEVI.N and Lacoste have been spooked by higher levies on all apparel priced at more than $29.

The premium wear segment accounts for about 18% of an apparel industry worth $70 billion, says Datum Intelligence, spurred by a growing number of nouveau riche and brand-conscious youngsters in India.

The biggest tax reform in eight years by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government cuts levies to 5% on garments costing less than 2,500 rupees ($29), but items priced above that figure now face a higher levy of 18%.

That will pile pressure on the likes of PVH Corp PVH.N, Marks and Spencer MKS.L, Gap Inc GPS.N, Under Armour UAA.N, Nike NKE.N, H&M HMb.ST and Japan's Uniqlo 9983.T.

Fashion companies worry about the impact of higher taxes on sales, since aspirational young people consider such purchases as a lifestyle upgrade, but remain sensitive to price, said two Indian garment executives dealing in foreign brands.

"Retail works on wafer-thin margins, and overheads like rents are extremely high," said the chief executive of a foreign garment brand operating in India, who sought anonymity for fear of government reprisal. "Growth that we were expecting earlier won't come now."

The official added, "This is not a luxury. The 2,500-rupee price point is basic now."

The higher taxes are also a double whammy for domestic garment makers whose thriving U.S. exports business is also reeling from President Donald Trump's tariffs of 50%.

India's reform has not only drastically cut consumption levies on daily essentials and consumer electronics, but dealt a surprise win on Wednesday for pricey SUVs, reducing their tax rate to a flat 40%, versus up to 50% earlier.

Carmaker Mercedes-Benz has been reporting record sales in recent months, as consumption surges.

The higher rate on apparel could spell the "death knell for the industry", the Clothing Manufacturers Association of India has said, as items costing more than 2,500 rupees are "consumed in large numbers by the common man and middle class".

Most of the 875 new arrivals listed on Superdry India's website, for example, are subject to the new 18% tax, with many jackets on offer priced upwards of $170 and shirts at $60.

On the Lacoste India website, men's T-shirts can cost as much as $99, with not one priced below $29, the new threshold for the higher tax, set to take effect on September 22.

TARIFF TO WEDDINGS

In press statements, the Association has flagged worries about the impact of the higher tax adding to the fallout from Trump's tariff salvo.

India's Arvind Fashions ARVF.NS for example, holds domestic franchisee rights for Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein retail, but its affiliate, Arvind Ltd ARVN.NS, makes foreign brands for export to destinations including the United States, which has a share of roughly 30%.

The Arvind Group did not respond to a request for comment.

In India, foreign premium brands have been luring affluent youngsters by adding retail outlets and e-commerce offerings. Lululemon Athletica LULU.O plans to enter the market in 2026.

The tax hikes will also apply to apparel from luxury goods makers Louis Vuitton LVMH.PA, Dior DIOR.PA and Versace.

Some customers may opt for cheaper more tax-efficient purchases while travelling abroad, but the hike to 18% from an earlier slab of 12% will have limited impact on India's rich, said one luxury industry executive.

Another area of expenditure set for a hit will be clothes bought for weddings. Lavish marriage celebrations are big business, and urban families can easily spend thousands of dollars on items from traditional sarees to men's jackets.

"Putting these clothes in the 18% slab will result in parents compelled to make inferior clothing for their favourite child on their favourite day," the clothing association said.

July 29 (Reuters) - Textile manufacturer Arvind ARVN.NS reported a 35% rise in first-quarter profit on Tuesday as global brands move to increase their sourcing from India instead of China.

Arvind, which counts Western brands such as Gap and H&M among its clients, posted a consolidated net profit of 532.4 million Indian rupees ($6.13 million) for the three months ended June 30.

U.S. brands have been diversifying their supply chains beyond China, due in part to geopolitical tensions, while political turmoil in Bangladesh has also prompted global brands to be open to sourcing more from India.

Arvind reported a 10% growth in revenue from operations to 20.06 billion rupees, driven by a 14% increase in revenue from its core textiles business, which accounts for roughly two-thirds of its total sales.

The apparel maker said its strong order book signals increased global interest in India as a sourcing destination.

However, Arvind flagged a knock to its margins for the first half of fiscal 2026 — even as it forecast margins to expand in the second half — due to higher input costs, discounts, and air freight tied to U.S. tariff-led disruptions.

A 10% baseline import levy imposed by the United States remains in effect, even as President Donald Trump has paused steeper country-specific tariffs on Indian goods, weighing on margins at textile exporters.

Jan 28 (Reuters) - Indian clothing retailer Arvind Ltd ARVN.NS reported a 13% rise in its third-quarter profit on Tuesday, boosted by strong demand for textiles during the festive season.

The company, which retails international brands including Tommy Hilfiger, Arrow, and Calvin Klein, posted a consolidated net profit of 1.03 billion rupees ($11.90 million) in the quarter ended Dec. 31, up from 917 million rupees a year earlier.

The festive season, running from September to January, traditionally contributes significantly to retailers' annual sales as consumer spending surges during the period.

Textile manufacturers capitalized on the steady demand by offering discounts to attract buyers, despite the headwinds from persistent inflation.

Arvind reported a near 11% growth in revenue from operations, driven by an 11% increase in revenue from its core textile segment, which accounts for 74% of its total sales.

The textile segment saw strong volume growth during the quarter, aided by new customer acquisitions, while margins remained stable across segments, Arvind said in its investor presentation.

Total expenses grew 10% during the reported quarter as prices of cotton, its key raw material, remained elevated.

The advanced materials segment, through which Arvind makes fabrics and protective gear for construction work, grew 9%.
