The study focuses on the possible impact of Multi-Fibre Arrangement (MFA) phase-out on textile and clothing exports of India. To test this, it employs shift share analysis technique using trade data from 1996 to 2006. The result shows that MFA phase-out has not provided significant export opportunities for the Indian textile and clothing industry. Perhaps the effect of the quota regime has been so deeply ischolar_mained that trade liberalization is yet to be manifested in exports of textile products for India.
