August 27, 2025 - Current affairs for all the Exams: US Imposes 50% Tariffs on Indian Goods, Sparking Economic Concerns

August 27, 2025

The United States has begun imposing significant tariffs, totaling 50%, on a wide range of Indian exports, effective August 27, 2025. This move, which includes an additional 25% duty on top of existing tariffs, is expected to severely impact India's export-oriented sectors, particularly labor-intensive industries such as textiles, gems and jewelry, and shrimp. The decision has led to a notable downturn in Indian stock markets, with the Sensex and Nifty experiencing sharp declines. The Indian government and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) are assessing the situation and exploring measures to mitigate the economic shock, while experts warn of potential impacts on India's GDP growth.
