3,00,000 jobs at risk? Experts say THESE sectors likely to get impacted due to Trump tariffs on India
There are concerns among experts that increased tariffs announced by President Donald Trump on Indian imports into the United States, will have a negative impact on jobs in the affected sectors, PTI reported. According RP Yadav, founder and CMD of workforce solutions and HR services provider Genius HRTech, the hiked US tariffs are expected to significantly impact India's employment landscape in industries heavily dependent on the US market for growth and continuity. Sectors such as agriculture, auto components, gems and jewellery, and textiles are likely to be among the worst impacted, as per Yadav. He added that even within these sectors, it is the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) who will bear the brunt. Yadav estimates that between 2,00,000 to 3,00,000 jobs are at immediate risk. Further, the labour-intensive textiles industry alone could potentially lose 1,00,000 jobs, if the tariff regime continues beyond the next six months, he added. He added that in the gem and jewellery sector, including units in Surat and SEEPZ in Mumbai, 'thousands of jobs are at risk due to reduced demand and cost escalation in the US market', he added. However, not all agree. Balasubramanian Anantha Narayanan, Senior VP at TeamLease Services, feels that unlike China, India is largely a domestic consumption driven economy. Thus, any impact from the US tariffs would not impact jobs. 'At this point in time, we aren't seeing any signs of a slowdown or loss of jobs. This also by extension means that our jobs are largely in service of domestic demand too, with the exception of some sectors like ITeS among others,' Narayanan said. He added, 'Our exports to the USA are $87 billion, which is roughly about 2.2 per cent of our overall GDP. Largely pharma, electronics etc. won't be affected for now, which will further limit the export exposure to industries such as textiles, gems and jewellery among others.' Further, Narayanan noted that the full 50 per cent tariff hike comes into effect later this month on August 27, and it is possible that some negotiations could happen before that. He added that positives from the recently announced free trade agreement (FTA) with the UK and other countries, could possibly make way for the redirection of Indian goods, rather than a complete shut down of the exports. 'Even if these US tariffs do come about, we'll definitely figure out a way of redirecting or diversifying our trade to other markets. Therefore, at this point in time, we aren't seeing any signs of a slowdown or loss of jobs. It's an evolving situation and we'll get to know more in due course of time,' he feels. Aditya Mishra, MD and CEO of CIEL HR also feels that while the US tariff scenario is unsettling for Indian exporters, especially those in the auto components, electronics, engineering goods, footwear, gems and jewellery, leather, shrimp, and textiles, widespread layoffs appear unlikely at this stage. 'Companies are already in cost-containment mode, reducing discretionary spending, streamlining production, and freezing hiring. The immediate pressure will be on temporary and contract roles, particularly shop-floor workers, artisans, sales and logistics staff, and some mid-level managers in export-led units. This will have a cascading effect on thousands of MSMEs in the supply chain, which collectively account for a large share of employment,' Mishra felt.

Paint sector slowdown: Early monsoon and price wars hit June quarter earnings, companies eye festive revival
The June quarter turned out to be a muted one for India's leading paint makers, as the early arrival of the monsoon and aggressive pricing by new entrants ate into their growth. Asian Paints, Berger Paints, Kansai Nerolac Paints and Akzo Nobel India all reported subdued numbers, though sequential improvement was visible in urban markets and realisations improved due to price hikes. Early monsoon dampens demand Asian Paints Managing Director and CEO Amit Syngle said the business saw a sharp impact from the unexpected onset of rains. 'In April and May, the demand was better, but it was strongly impacted by the early monsoon. However, I think the silver lining was that we saw some shoots of demand coming up in urban areas, which were down, and we hope that it continues as we go ahead,' Syngle said, quoted PTI. The company reported a 1.19 per cent dip in standalone sales revenue to Rs 7,848.83 crore. Its volume growth stood at 3.9 per cent year-on-year, but value fell 1.2 per cent. Berger Paints CEO Abhijit Roy too pointed to the 'heavier than expected monsoon towards the end of May and June,' which he said moderated growth. The company posted an 11 per cent fall in consolidated net profit at Rs 315 crore, while revenue from operations rose 3.55 per cent to Rs 3,200.76 crore. Competition squeezes margins Alongside the weather, intensifying market rivalry weighed heavily. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite? Vitauthority Learn More Undo 'The overall competition in the market is intense, with a lot of new competition coming in,' said Syngle, pointing to aggressive new players challenging incumbents in the decorative paints segment. Kansai Nerolac's Managing Director Pravin Chaudhari also highlighted the pressure. 'Overall, monsoon in many places has caused some disturbances that have led to temporary stoppages, especially in projects as well as some part of retail,' he said. The company reported a 4.12 per cent drop in consolidated net profit to Rs 215.6 crore, while revenue rose 1.35 per cent to Rs 2,162.03 crore. Akzo Nobel India, which reported a 20.6 per cent decline in net profit to Rs 91 crore, described the quarter as 'stressed' due to muted consumer sentiment and competitive intensity. CMD Rajiv Rajgopal said revenue growth across top players remained 'pretty flattish.' Paint makers are betting on the festive season to drive a turnaround. With Diwali coming earlier than last year, companies expect demand in August and September to improve. 'Construction activity based on whatever we saw in the month of June, we believe that Q2 should be better as far as decorative is concerned,' Chaudhari added. The Rs 75,000-crore Indian paint industry remains dominated by Asian Paints, with Berger, Kansai Nerolac, Akzo Nobel, Indigo Paints, Shalimar Paints and Nippon Paints also vying for market share.
