On April 2, 2025, President Donald J. Trump announced sweeping tariff hikes targeting countries with which the U.S. has significant trade deficits. As part of his push for “reciprocal tariffs,” India was singled out, with a new 26 percent tariff imposed on Indian exports to the U.S., according to India Briefing. The administration justified these tariffs as a response to what it described as longstanding “unfair trade practices,” aiming to level the playing field for American manufacturers and exporters.
In practice, the new policy works in two phases. While a flat 10 percent tariff now applies to imports from all countries, including India, certain countries with prominent trade imbalances—India among them—face even higher, individualized tariff rates. This 26 percent rate went into effect on April 5, 2025, and is especially impactful for major Indian export sectors, such as automobiles, auto parts, steel, and aluminum. Notably, Indian pharmaceuticals and semiconductors have been exempted from these duties, offering some relief for those industries, as reported by ClearTax.
Despite these headline-grabbing measures, the majority of Indian exports to the U.S. might not experience severe disruption. ClearTax breaks down the numbers: U.S.-bound exports account for about 18 percent of all Indian exports. Automobiles and electronics, the most affected categories, represent roughly 16 percent of that figure, or just over $12 billion. While 10 to 40 percent of auto and electronics shipments could be hit hardest, this translates to only about 0.2 to 0.3 percent of India’s total GDP, according to some estimates.
Some Indian sectors may even benefit. Textiles, for example, could gain an edge if the U.S. imports less from other affected countries due to wider tariff increases. Meanwhile, the U.S. Trade Representative’s March 2025 report continues to spotlight India’s own tariff rates—averaging 17 percent, with non-agricultural goods at 13.5 percent and agricultural goods at a steep 39 percent—demonstrating the ongoing friction over market access in both directions.
Listeners, these developments mark a dramatic escalation in U.S.-India trade relations and set the stage for ongoing negotiation or potential retaliation. We’ll continue to track the consequences for Indian industry and global commerce as the situation unfolds.
