US Tariff Shock: 55% of India’s Exports at Risk
New Delhi, August 7, 2025 – A looming threat hangs over India’s export sector following the announcement of potential US tariff hikes. Industry experts warn of severe repercussions.
Economist Sahai highlighted the alarming scale of the potential impact. He estimates that approximately 55% of Indian goods shipped to the US could face significantly increased tariffs.
This development poses a considerable challenge to India’s economic growth trajectory. Several key export sectors, including textiles and technology, are expected to be severely affected.
The government is currently assessing the situation and exploring potential mitigation strategies. However, the uncertainty surrounding the US’s trade policy is causing considerable anxiety among Indian businesses.
The fallout could significantly impact employment and investment, potentially leading to job losses across various sectors. Immediate and decisive action is crucial to minimise the damage.
