Indian Economy and Business: Markets Plunge Amid US Tariffs, RBI Assesses Impact, Long-Term Outlook Remains Strong

August 29, 2025

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) acknowledged the downside risks posed by these tariffs but noted that domestic factors continue to support economic activity and expressed readiness to support affected sectors. Despite the immediate challenges, an EY report projects India to become the world's second-largest economy by 2038 in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms.
