The Calico Acts banned the import of most cotton textiles into, England, followed by the restriction of sale of most cotton textiles .
Calico Act was enacted in the year 1720. According to this act, the British government enacted a legislation banning the use of printed cotton textiles– chintz – in England. It made the Indian textiles popular in the world market. The English traders were the ones to benefit from this.The effects on the Indian textiles were two ways:
First: Indian textiles now had to compete with British textiles in the European and American markets.
Second: exporting textiles to England became increasingly difficult since very high duties were imposed on Indian textiles imported into Britain.
