Public sentiment is mixed, exhibiting both frustration and resilience regarding US tariffs on Indian exports. Many are concerned about job losses and economic stability while calling for greater self-reliance and diversification of trade. There is a notable push for reducing dependence on the US and strengthening ties with alternative partners like Russia. Criticism of the US's role in global trade is prevalent, alongside skepticism toward government effectiveness in addressing these challenges.

Indian Government

Need to absorb Textile with massive Tax incentive 

Gems we have monopoly. Let Americans pay Big beautiful Tariffs 

Need to see how we can help engineering goods. That can be tricky as the cost may not be is easy to absorb

pratyush_1991

Indian companies need to set up processing  units in Nepal, Mauritius, UAE, Saudi Arabia , Oman , Quatar , Kenya, Tanzania , Senegal, Surinam  UK export stuff there process and reexport to US with appropriate label.

Well help to strengthen relations with these countries, contributing some way to their economy and balancing the trade

Ok_Nobody_6467

India needs to find other markets as soon as possible. Too much reliance on america for trade is bad for the present and future. They don't care about us. Today it's trump tomorrow maybe another president. Whereas China has trade with America which is like 17% of its total trade. So even if they impose 100% tax on them they will be fine because they have alternatives. This problem for India is due to its own policy during the previous govt and the current govt.

Min 10% on all goods.

Apple paid 1 B$  in tariffs mostly imported from Vietnam and India

Well you celebrated his victory, now let us all suffer together.

I'm surprised that petroleum products are not included under the new tariff. Don't they impose the highest tariffs on India for buying Russian oil?

Is there any real competition for the diamonds and jewellery? India is one of the major centres for 
diamond cutting and polishing. This requires skilled labor and not something that can be put up overnight.

Sumeru88

But smartphones and pharmaceuticals are exempted, hmmm

Suspicious_Place1270

What we need to do is pressure the US any way we can. As you can see trump has been dickriding tim cook which got us the smartphone exemption and the people in america will literally eat trump if medicine prices rose after he tried to remove health support to people resulting in pharma exemption. What India needs is to become the only scale supplier of as many crucial goods as possible, not the cheapest, the ONLY one. Like china is with rare earths, which led to trump cowering back in his cornerlike a beaten dog. We need leverage, nothing else

Godfather_Demon

Trump or any other US president will not allow India to be the new China. So they will not allow a big low wage country transform into a developped rival like China. So, the best path for India is cooperation and trade within the framework of the Global South. The same applies to Europe, they also will close the doors, as they are 'friends' aka vassals of the US. And yes, products in the West will be more expensive and the west will weaken, but that is how the western political mindset works. We can't share wealth and influence on this planet, we just want to dominate.

Maybe Indians get to consume export quality textiles.  When I was in US I could still sometimes find Indian made stuff but back in India it's all Made in Vietnam. Maybe Indian exporters should target the local market.

Autobot1979

Who cares . None of these will affect 90% of the Indian who works  9-9  , earn little and  eat ration  .  These things matters to those 10% rich who run massive factories , farms and takes 90% profit

So that’s why the apple dude was at trump… probably secured the exemption for Apple production in India from the tariffs. So it’s basically a tax on Indian companies.

Alarmed-Dirt-7824

The sole reason many indian companies haven't gone bankrupt is because india charges heavy duties on imports but other countries don't on indian products. Trump tariffs are extremely fair, if anything, it should be 100%+

While the 50% U.S. tariff hike is a serious blow to industries like gems, jewellery, and electronics, it might not cripple the entire Indian economy. If India can quickly adapt, by diversifying export markets and boosting domestic manufacturing, it could cushion the impact. That said, a move this sudden definitely creates a lot of uncertainty, and the government will need to act fast to avoid longer term damage :/

Export contribution to India GDP is not much, even if US put import ban GDP growth will slow by .5%

But risk is not on economically but geo politics will also play the role, US is notorious for creating civil war, protest, making govt unstable.

SanjuRai1986

Most media reports give a range of. 4 to. 8 basis point reduction in gdp growth. If the nominal growth for this fiscal was 6.5% then after tarrifs we can expect the growth to be between 5.8 to 6.1%.

So the impact will be there.

What happens when the most convenient kirana stores hikes it's commodity prices? Simple .. you find another one...it just takes time to explore the options...so be it... atleast our dependency is diversified.. which is ofcourse a good thing once the initial emotional burn out

It's not about tariffs but quarter results, once companies start to give good results, market moves in positive/forward growth

The erstwhile great economy will suffer a lot. Medical which was already in bad shape would be the worst hit.

What about Software exports like Google, facebook, whatsapp. Why are they not counted.

Tacama

All major rating agencies like Moody's, barkley, fitch, s&amp;p foresee impact of about 0.2-0.3 pp on Indian GDP growth by this.

Sun1385In

Does this include IT &amp; software exports? We have many IT companies that have many US customers whom we charge in USD. Any idea? I believe that number may be more than this.

Any_Contribution_238

So, china exported 428 billion worth of goods.

80 billion isn't "more than any other country.'

LateScientist6316

I'm not an economist but can someone tell me what will we lose if we Boycott USA completely?

iceinmyveinsIguess

What is everything else ? Can anybody explain

ehmotherfuckers

This chart really shows how important the U.S. is for Indian exports—nearly $80 billion worth. If Trump goes ahead with a 25% tariff, it's not just numbers on paper. It could hit millions of Indian jobs and small businesses that depend on U.S. markets. Sure, the trade balance favors India, and that’s why we’re in the spotlight. But let’s be real if tariffs go up, U.S. consumers will feel it too. Things like affordable medicines, jewellery, and electronics from India won’t come cheap anymore. In the end, both sides lose if politics gets in the way of smart diplomacy

spirit101_gg

Thanks for the info. We should do more trade with every country in the world. More exports and less imports would be better.

Rus1996

Now compare it to russia..where they don't buy anything from us..still we put them on a pedestal

#50% Tariff are like sanctions which will reduce exports and render many Indians jobless.

Indian wokers in textiles, jewellery, electrical, carpets, furniture and machinery will loses their jobs as demand for Indian goods reduces due to the tariffs.

Roughly 55% of India’s exports to the U.S., valued at close to $87 billion, are impacted by these new tariffs. Affected sectors and approximate export values include:

Textiles &amp; Apparel (knit, woven, made-ups): $10.3 billion

Gems &amp; Jewellery (including diamonds and gold): $12 billion

Seafood (mostly shrimp): $2.24 billion

Leather &amp; Footwear: $1.18 billion

Chemicals: $2.34 billion

Electrical &amp; Mechanical Machinery: $9 billion

Additional categories facing exceptionally high duty rates include:

Organic chemicals (~54%), carpets (~52.9%), machinery (~51.3%), furniture (~52.3%), with apparel categories reaching up to ~63.9% duty.

This is temporary until trump is there. Never trust guys like doland trump again.

Own-Caregiver-8117

India is not export dependent economy like china. And usa is not our only market. Also the tariffs are temporary, it may not even come to effect if ukraine war ceasefire is achieved this week

Critifin

No they won't. They'll setup on shore companies. And sell the goods to their on shore wings at 10% price with some last assembly left. Pay 5% tarrif and 5% extra for labour, and sell goods at 20-25 percent higher price cause of "tarrifs" and earn more margins

Service both financial and it industries will sink lol . Nd you have no idea how much money the financial industry accounts for in circulation .

i check all parameter and the tariff have a reason Mr trump wish the company work in the USA and provide the employment to American, almost 99% company have only exports but i found that the Sutlej textile a small company which have book value of RS 56 per share and equity is just RS 16 , invested and boguht a USA silk company in the 2017 at the cost of RS 48 cr and now this comapny value is more than Rs100 cr and other side see this company out of tariff with the reason that they only export the raw material to own company in USA to produce and sale the products with the employees of US.  so this  KK Birla company an old and started in the 1934, have big land bank , the hindustan times and a big fund also invested in this company at the rate of Rs45.50 so its a good investment because now share traded at below Rs 37 or to say near to Rs 19 per share low of book value of RS 56, the last year year was Rs 75, so i start to invest in this company for mid to long term but i keep for the target of Rs 75 plus for a year  ..
