Trump's Tariffs Leave Modi Between a Rock and a Hard Place, and the Economy on the Ropes
India cannot afford a very protracted trade negotiation with Donald Trump. Time is of the essence. The Indian economy cannot face continuing uncertainty in the face of slowing consumption and investments, both domestic and foreign. India started talks with the US on the bilateral trade agreement in March 2025, even before Trump had announced the punishing tariffs on the world in early April. After five rounds of talks spread over four months, India couldn't even get an interim agreement and instead got a 50% tariff slapped on all its exports. There is now a desperate attempt to find new interlocutors who can figure out what is it that might work with Trump. There is also a report that Prime Minister Modi would try to meet him next month during the UN General Assembly meeting in New York. To come back to the main issue, does India have the luxury of time at all? After announcing the most punishing tariffs on India, Trump has given 21 days to resolve all outstanding trade issues. After that, the tariff kicks in. India has to take a political call, one way or another. Frankly, there are only two options. One option is for India to dilute its firm position taken during the five rounds of negotiations, especially on opening up the agriculture and dairy sector. Modi cannot obfuscate matters anymore. Trump, in a way, has him somewhat cornered. If Modi dilutes India's position in some areas then he will have to communicate it to his domestic constituency transparently. Even if India decided to shift from buying Russian oil to US energy, it will have to be done openly. There is no place to hide anymore. The other option is to steadfastly stick to one's position and take the nation into confidence that there will be a lot of short term pain which Indians will have to collectively endure. A different set of policy measures will be needed to deal with that sort of pain. Modi's instinct so far has been to not cross red lines already set in the negotiations. His public statement that he is willing to 'pay a personal price' to protect the farmers is an indication that he is under a lot of pressure. The fact is India's poor and lower middle class are already paying the real price of economic mismanangement so far. The Trump tariff, even if it is only 25%, is only likely to make things worse. Therefore, it is important that the people of India – workers, traders, producers and consumers – know soon enough where exactly they stand so that they can adjust their expectations. The economy cannot wait too long for the hide and seek games being played between Modi and Trump. In this Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2020 file image, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Donald Trump during joint press statement, in New Delhi. Photo: Via PTI. Most independent economic research outfits have pronounced that India could lose 0.5 to 1 percentage points of GDP at present tariffs. More than that, the sectors which export substantially to the US – garments, apparel and textiles and gems, jewellery and precious stones – are quite labour intensive and already smaller manufacturers are facing problems with new orders. Together, these two sectors contribute close to $17 billion and the supplies mostly come from the small sector who work on very small margins. Big corporate groups like the Tatas, Ambanis or Adanis can still absorb lower margins and losses in their vast balance sheets. But the MSME sector can't. They will be the first to fold up. Some experts even suggest there could be a mini COVID-lockdown kind of labour migration to rural areas once again. These are things the government will have to prepare for while looking at policy options. If Modi agrees to open up the agriculture and dairy sectors, then there will be a different kind of backlash. So Trump has really put his friend Modi between a rock and a hard place. Worse, all this is coming at a time when the economy is struggling to get back to a 7% GDP growth path. After the Union budget this year , hopes were raised that government spending and private consumption backed by income tax cuts would lift growth to 7% plus all over again. But that expectation stands belied. The Trump tariffs in April actually nullified whatever positives that might have been there in the budget. High-frequency indicators like auto sales, steel consumption and power demand now show slower growth, pointing to demand-side pressures. Bank credit growth dropped sharply to 9% in June 2025 from 16% a year earlier, signalling weaker investment demand. Urban consumption demand, in particular, faces challenges due to high rental inflation and slow wage growth, with a slowdown expected to persist this year. There is also the disturbing UPI payment data brought out by online publication, Morning Context, which says the highest growth is being recorded in repayments of past debts. The payments data – which is realtime data reflecting spending by the vast lower middle class – also show slowing consumption, both discretionary and non-discretionary. It is also well known that average middle class Indians have been drawing down their savings for consumption as wages and salaries have stagnated. It is stagnating even in sectors like IT where things were better until some years ago. The last few years have also seen the record pledging of gold to take loans for consumption. By one estimate, total outstanding loans against gold could touch Rs 14 lakh crore by 2027. This used to be less than Rs 3 lakh crore until 2018. Rural demand recovery has also been sluggish, heavily reliant on the monsoons. Some global research firms have concluded that a structural decline in consumption demand is now a reality, marked by weak investment rates, stagnant real wages. Swiss based UBS group has warned last January that India's economy had entered a 'structural slowdown,' driven by long-term moderation in credit growth, foreign direct investment, export competitiveness, and corporate earnings – not just short-term cyclical fluctuation. The harsh Trump tariffs and the ongoing negotiations have come at this vulnerable juncture for India.

Jaishankar heads to Russia soon after Chinese FM lands in India next week amid Trump tariff row. What's on the table?
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will travel to Russia next week to hold crucial talks with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov on 21 August. Before the two leaders meet in Moscow, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will visit India on 18 August to hold border talks with National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval. India's diplomatic engagement with Russia and China comes as US-imposed tariffs have strained New Delhi's ties with Washington, DC. In fact, government is yet to take a final call on the trip, on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's scheduled visit the United States for the United Nations General Assembly next month, according to sources. Jaishankar's trip to Russia comes days after NSA Doval travelled to Russia and met President Vladimir Putin and several top-ranking officials. People familiar with the external affairs minister's trip to Moscow told news agency PTI that the the two sides are also likely to finalise various elements of Putin's visit to India later this year. Deputy spokesperson of Russia's foreign ministry Aleksey Fadeyev said in Moscow that the heads of the two countries' foreign offices will discuss "most important issues of the bilateral agenda". Jaishankar will be on a two-day visit to Russia and is likely to call on Putin, as well as hold wide-ranging talks with Foreign Minister Lavrov. The external affairs minister is also expected to co-chair the 26th session of the India-Russia Intergovernmental Commission on Trade and Economic, Scientific-Technological and Cultural Cooperation. The Russian delegation at the dialogue is likely to be led by First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov. India's continued energy procurement from Russia is likely to figure in Jaishankar's meetings with Russian leaders in Moscow. US President Donald Trump issued an executive order last week imposing an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods as a penalty for New Delhi's continued purchase of Russian oil. The additional duties raised the overall tariff on India to 50 per cent. India has been defending its purchase of Russian crude oil, maintaining that its energy procurement is driven by national interest and market dynamics. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will be in India on Monday, 18 August to hold border talks with NSA Ajit Doval, days ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's planned trip to China to attend the annual summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). The Chinese foreign minister is visiting India primarily to hold the next round of Special Representatives (SR) dialogue on the boundary question, according to sources. Wang and Doval are the designated special representatives for the boundary talks. The NSA travelled to China in December last and held the SR talks with Wang, weeks after Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping decided to revive various dialogue mechanisms between the two sides at a meeting in the Russian city of Kazan. It is learnt that Wang may also hold a separate meeting with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. Narendra Modi is expected to travel to China later this month to attend the SCO summit. As per the plan, Narendra Modi will visit Japan around August 29. After concluding the trip, he will travel to the northern Chinese city of Tianjin for the summit, which will be held on August 31 and September 1. Narendra Modi's visit to China is being planned amid efforts by the two sides to repair their bilateral ties, which came under severe strain following the deadly clashes between Indian and Chinese troops in Galwan Valley in June 2020. The military standoff in eastern Ladakh began in May 2020, and the clashes at the Galwan Valley in June that year resulted in a severe strain in ties. The decision to revive various dialogue mechanisms was taken at the meeting between Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Kazan on 23 October 2024. The two sides also initiated several initiatives to rebuild ties, including the resumption of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra and New Delhi restarting the issuance of tourist visas to Chinese nationals. India and China are set to resume direct flights as soon as next month, Bloomberg reported citing officials in the know. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar visited China in the last two months to attend SCO meetings. China is the current chair of the SCO.

SP never talked about Dalits when it was in power, now desperate: UP Deputy CM Maurya
'From 2012 to 2017, when I was also a member of this House, SP never remembered Dalits and backward classes. But now, when they see no possibility of power anywhere, they talk of a fake PDA,' he said. Speaking in a 24-hour discussion in the Assembly on 'Viksit Bharat-Viksit Uttar Pradesh, Atmanirbhar Bharat-Atmanirbhar Uttar Pradesh,' Maurya also accused the SP of lacking a comprehensive vision for inclusive development. Lucknow, Aug 13 (PTI) Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya on Wednesday said the Samajwadi Party (SP) never cared for Dalits and the backward classes when it was in power. In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, people gave a clear message to the then-ruling SP by ousting it, but its leaders 'did not mend their ways,' the BJP leader said. He alleged that the SP regime was marked by lawlessness, rampant crime, and unchecked corruption. Maurya said the reason UP lags behind several states despite rich resources was the partisan politics, which stalled progress for decades. 'States like Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat have surged ahead, while UP remained backward for long. Before 2017, the situation was even worse,' he said. Maurya said Uttar Pradesh's economy under the BJP has grown from Rs 12.89 lakh crore in 2017 to Rs 28 lakh crore now, while per capita income has risen from Rs 52,671 in 2016-17 to Rs 93,514 in 2023-24. He said that the state was moving rapidly towards becoming a USD 1-trillion economy. The discussion in the House will continue tonight and will end on Thursday. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath remains present in the House. PTI ABN VN VN This report is auto-generated from PTI news service. ThePrint holds no responsibility for its content.
