The beginning of the nineteenth century was the beginning of a long decline of textile exports from India.

•In 1811-1812, 33% of goods were exported by India but by 1850s, it was no more than 3 percent.

•As cotton industries developed in England, industrial groups began worrying about imports from other countries.

•In order to prevent competition from outside world, they started imposing import duties on cotton textiles.

•Thus only Manchester goods were allowed to be sold there.

Due to these reasons, by the end of the eighteenth century, there was no export of cotton goods from India.
