Trump's tariff may seem severe, but India not worse-off than nations that signed trade deal: GTRI
Despite US President Trump's proposed tariffs on Indian goods, GTRI suggests India isn't worse off than nations that made trade deals with Washington. These countries conceded significantly, while India refused to compromise on key areas like agriculture. India's tariffs are WTO-compliant, and its relationship with Russia has aided in managing inflation. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads US President Donald Trump's announcement to impose a 25 per cent tariff and penalty on Indian goods may seem severe but the country is not in a worse position than nations that signed trade deals with Washington, think tank GTRI said on Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said the UK, the EU, Japan, Indonesia, and Vietnam now face elevated tariffs, and in return, have given sweeping concessions --zero tariffs on US farm goods, massive investment pledges, and purchases of American oil, gas, and has made no such concessions, it added."While Trump's announcement of a 25 per cent tariff plus penalty on Indian goods appears harsh, a closer look shows that India is not significantly worse off than countries that did sign deals with the US," GTRI Founder Ajay Srivastava added that India did not walk away from the deal and it negotiated in good faith but refused to cross its red lines particularly on agriculture, where over 700 million livelihoods are at justification for India's tariffs, trade barriers, and ties with Russia does not stand up to scrutiny, he said, adding that India's tariffs are WTO-compliant, non-tariff barriers are common globally, and discounted Russian oil has helped India manage inflation during global volatility."India is not alone; over 90 countries face similar US pressure. A deal may still emerge, but only on fair terms. For now, India's principled stand has avoided the trap of a one-sided deal -- and that's a success," he added.

25% Import Tariff On Indian Goods: The Art Of The No Deal
The Art Of The No Deal Ajay Srivastava Updated: Jul 30, 2025, 21:26 IST IST That India didn't blink on a trade pact with US is (1) good for core interests like protecting farmers and (2) not as bad as it sounds given what countries that have buckled have had to concede to Trump Months of speculation over the India-US trade deal ended last evening with a blunt announcement from Trump on Truth Social. Starting Aug 1, all Indian goods entering US will face a 25% import tariff, plus an additional penalty. This new tariff regime will apply even to goods already in transit. An apparel item that previously attracted a 12% tariff will now face 12% + 25% + a-yet-to-be-disclosed penalty.

Centre responds to Donald Trump's 25% tariff announcement: ‘Our national interest'
The Centre on Wednesday said it has taken note of US President Donald Trump's announcement that India would face a 25 per cent tariff on certain exports starting August 1, and is studying its 'implications'. Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal address a press conference.(ANI File) 'India and the US have been engaged in negotiations on concluding a fair, balanced, and mutually beneficial bilateral trade agreement over the last few months. We remain committed to that objective,' the Ministry of Commerce and Industry said in a statement. Follow tariff news live updates The government also added that it remains committed to safeguarding India's economic interests, especially those of farmers, entrepreneurs, and MSMEs. 'The government attaches the utmost importance to protecting and promoting the welfare of our farmers, entrepreneurs, and MSMEs. The government will take all steps necessary to secure our national interest, as has been the case with other trade agreements, including the latest Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with the UK,' the statement added. Earlier, Trump said India will face 25 per cent tariff along with an additional penalty starting August 1, citing trade practices and continued ties with Russia. In a social media post on Truth Social, Trump claimed the US has done relatively little business with India over the years due to its 'high tariffs' and 'obnoxious non-monetary trade barriers.' He also criticised India for being a major buyer of Russian military equipment and energy, especially at a time when the international community is urging Russia to halt its actions in Ukraine. 'All things not good,' Trump wrote, announcing the tariff. In another post, US President Donald Trump said, 'WE HAVE A MASSIVE TRADE DEFICIT WITH INDIA!!!' Earlier in April, Trump had announced fresh tariffs of up to 27 per cent on Indian goods. However, that decision was later put on hold, and since then, both countries have been trying to finalise a trade deal.
