US Imposes 50% Tariff on Indian Goods: Economic Impact and India's Response

August 27, 2025

The United States has implemented a 50% tariff on Indian goods, effective August 27, 2025, a move that is expected to significantly impact India's export-oriented sectors. While the Indian government maintains that communication channels remain open and is advocating for domestic production, industry bodies are seeking urgent support measures to mitigate potential job losses and economic slowdown. Despite these challenges, India's robust domestic demand and ongoing economic reforms are anticipated to provide a buffer against the adverse effects.
