Amid concerns over India’s exports, Minister of State for Finance Ministry Pankaj Chaudhary has said that about 55 per cent of the country’s total merchandise exports to the US will be subject to 25 per cent reciprocal tariff. He added a combination of different factors, such as product differentiation, demand, quality, and contractual arrangements, would determine the impact on India's exports.
He said the government attaches utmost importance to protecting and promoting welfare of farmers, entrepreneurs, exporters, MSMEs, and will take all necessary steps to secure the national interest. He said a reciprocal tariff of 25 per cent is proposed to be imposed on certain goods exported from India to the US starting from August 7.
US President Donald Trump has also announced an additional 25 per cent tariff, to be effective from August 27. With this, the total tariff on Indian goods to the US is now 50 per cent. Meanwhile, the commerce ministry data showed that during April-June, the country's exports to the US increased by 22.18 per cent to $25.51 billion, while imports rose 11.68 per cent to $12.86 billion.
