Donald Trump Tariff on India: According to a new report by CARAEGE ratings, India may face export losses of $ 3.1 billion (about Rs 25,700 crore) due to a possible new tariff to be declared by US President Donald Trump. This figure is equal to about 0.1 percent of India’s GDP (GDP), which can become a matter of concern for the Indian economy.
According to Smita Rajpurkar, director of CARAIGE Ratings, increasing tariffs may have a serious impact on India’s major export areas, including many areas. For example, textile and garment industry, automobiles and auto parts include IT and pharmaceuticals. Explain that a huge amount of cloth is exported to America from India, which will be affected by increasing tariffs. The Indian auto sector is already facing recession, so it can be further affected by the new tariff. India’s IT and pharmaceutical companies make good profits from the US market. Increasing tariffs will increase cost, which can reduce the competitive capacity of Indian companies.
Possible impact of tariff on India
If US President Donald Trump announces a tariff on India, then many types of major effects can be seen, which is not being considered right for the Indian economy in any way.
Exports fall: Increasing tariffs will cost Indian companies to send goods to America, which can reduce their demand.
Putstation in currency: Indian rupee can weaken due to increasing business tension with America, which will make imports expensive and inflation can increase.
Investment reduction: Global investors can avoid investing in India due to increasing trade stress, which can affect Indian stock market.
Business war threat: The report also warns that if the global trade war broke out, it may increase the instability in the Indian economy and negatively affect financial stability.
Can India overcome this crisis?
India will need to adopt some strategies to overcome this crisis, such as focus on other export markets. Along with this, insisting on increasing trade with Europe, Africa and Asian countries by reducing dependence on America. The local industry will have to provide subsidy and tax relief so that they can withstand the impact of the new tariff and maintain competition. India will have to talk to the US on new business treaties, so that economic balance can be maintained.
