Anand Mahindra urges India to turn tariff turmoil into "1991 moment"
Anand Mahindra, chairman of the Mahindra Group, has called on India to turn the ongoing global tariff upheaval into an opportunity akin to the transformative economic reforms of 1991. Drawing parallels with the liberalisation that followed India's forex crisis more than three decades ago, Mahindra asked whether the current 'global Manthan' over tariffs could yield some 'Amrit' for the country. In a social media post, Mahindra said the 'law of unintended consequences' was quietly reshaping global economic priorities, triggered by the tariff war unleashed by the United States. While the short-term impact has been marked by friction, he said longer-term effects were already emerging in significant and potentially positive shifts. In Europe, he noted, the response to changing tariffs has gone beyond strategic trade adjustments. Countries such as Germany and France have ramped up defence spending, prompting a rethinking of security dependence and nudging Germany away from rigid fiscal conservatism. Mahindra said this could pave the way for an economic resurgence in Europe, giving the world a new growth engine. Similarly, in Canada — long constrained by internal trade barriers among its provinces — Mahindra observed that the same global pressures were driving efforts to dismantle inefficiencies. This, he said, could bring the Canadian economy closer to becoming a true common market, enhancing long-term resilience. These developments, Mahindra argued, show how unintended consequences can create major structural advantages. He urged India to act decisively to engineer its own set of outcomes that may seem unintended but are intentional in their transformative potential. He called for a radical improvement in India's ease of doing business, proposing the creation of a genuinely effective single-window clearance system for investment proposals. Noting that many regulatory powers lie with individual states, Mahindra suggested forming a coalition of willing states to align with a national platform to streamline and simplify approvals. If India can demonstrate speed, transparency, and predictability in this area, he said, it could become an irresistible destination for global capital. Mahindra also emphasised the need to unleash tourism as a major foreign exchange driver. Calling it one of India's most underexploited assets, he advocated urgent improvements in visa processing, tourist facilitation, and the creation of dedicated tourism corridors anchored in assured security, sanitation, and hygiene, serving as model destinations for replication nationwide. In addition to these two focus areas, he recommended broader policy action to strengthen competitiveness and resilience, including liquidity support for MSMEs, faster infrastructure investment, expanded manufacturing through enhanced production-linked incentive (PLI) schemes, and import duty rationalisation to reduce input costs for domestic manufacturers. Mahindra concluded with a call for intent-driven reform: 'Let the unintended consequences we create be the most intentional and transformative ones of all.' While acknowledging that no country can be faulted for putting its own interests first, he said India must use this moment to build a future greater than ever before.

How India can turn Trump's tariffs into a strategic advantage
US President Donald Trump has imposed an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods, citing India's continued purchase of oil from Russia. The new tariff, announced on Wednesday, will come into effect 21 days from August 7. This move takes the duty on some Indian exports to as high as 50%, making it one of the steepest tariffs faced by any American trading sharp increase in duties come at a time when trade talks between the two countries had already reached a dead end. The White House has not yet responded to questions about whether similar action will be taken against other countries, including China, which also imports oil from India is facing pressure and uncertainty, some voices from the Indian business community are looking at the situation Mahindra, Chairman of the Mahindra Group, shared a detailed response on social media, urging the country to turn this moment into a long-term his post, Mahindra called attention to the 'law of unintended consequences' and gave examples of how other countries are responding to global tensions in a way that may lead to future pointed to the European Union, where countries like France and Germany have increased defence spending. 'Germany has moderated its fiscal orthodoxy, which may well catalyse a resurgence in Europe's major economies. The world could gain a new engine for growth,' Mahindra also spoke about Canada, where internal trade barriers between provinces have long been an issue. In response to global economic shifts, the country has started working to break down these barriers, which could make its economy more resilient and bring the provinces closer to a common these examples, Mahindra asked whether India could also use the current situation to make meaningful progress. 'Just as the 1991 forex reserves crisis triggered liberalisation, can today's global 'Manthan' over tariffs yield some 'Amrit' for us?' he then laid out two specific areas where India could act right Mahindra said India must focus on improving the ease of doing business. He stressed that the country needs to go beyond slow and small reforms and create a true single-window system for all investment clearances. Even though many investment rules are controlled by individual states, he suggested that a group of states could lead the way by joining a national platform. If India shows that it can offer speed, simplicity and predictability, it could become a trusted and attractive location for global investors, especially in today's uncertain Mahindra highlighted tourism as an area with untapped potential. 'Tourism is one of the most underexploited sources of foreign exchange and employment,' he wrote. He called for faster visa processing, better facilities for tourists, and the creation of dedicated tourism corridors. These corridors, according to him, should have clean and secure surroundings and serve as model areas that could inspire other with these two steps, Mahindra also laid out a broader list of suggestions to boost India's economic resilience. These include providing liquidity and support to small and medium enterprises, speeding up infrastructure projects, pushing for more manufacturing through Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes, and reducing import duties on manufacturing inputs to help Indian companies stay competitive ended his message with a call for India to focus on turning this setback into a path for progress. 'Let the unintended consequences we create be the most intentional and transformative ones of all,' he added that while other countries may act in their own interest, India too must focus on making itself stronger. 'We cannot fault others for putting their nations first. But we should be moved to make our own nation greater than ever,' he said.- EndsTune InMust Watch advertisement

Donald Trump's 25% additional tariff on India: Anand Mahindra cites ‘law of unintended consequences'; says global ‘Manthan' can yield ‘Amrit' for India
As India braces for a fresh round of tariffs imposed by the United States, Mahindra Group chairman Anand Mahindra urged the country to turn the crisis into a powerful opportunity by implementing bold economic reforms. On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump signed an executive order to impose an additional 25% tariff on Indian imports, citing India's continued oil trade with Russia. The White House said these imports posed an 'unusual and extraordinary threat' to the US, justifying the move on grounds of national security and foreign policy. Once implemented, the total tariff burden on Indian goods entering the US will reach 50%, effective 21 days later. The Ministry of external affairs (MEA) called the move 'unfair, unjustified and unreasonable.' In a statement, it said, 'The United States has in recent days targeted India's oil imports from Russia. We have already made clear our position on these issues, including the fact that our imports are based on market factors and done with the overall objective of ensuring the energy security of 1.4 billion people of India. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Earn Upto 5k Daily By This Method of Intraday Trading TradeWise Learn More Undo ' Amid this growing trade tension, Anand Mahindra posted a detailed message on social media platform X, pointing to what he called the "law of unintended consequences" and urged India to shape its own positive outcomes, as other nations like those in the EU and Canada have done during periods of global friction. "The 'law of unintended consequences' seems to be operating stealthily in the prevailing tariff war unleashed by the US," he wrote. Drawing parallels with India's transformative 1991 economic reforms, he suggested that this moment could become equally significant if the right steps are taken. He proposed two major actions: radically improving ease of doing business and unlocking the potential of tourism as a foreign exchange booster. Here are the two strong steps that India should take today: Improving the ease of doing business Mahindra stressed that India needs to move beyond small, gradual reforms and build a truly efficient single-window clearance system for all investment proposals. He pointed out that while many regulatory powers lie with individual states, a group of cooperative states could come together to launch a unified national platform. 'If we demonstrate speed, simplicity, and predictability, we can make India an irresistible destination for global capital in a world seeking trusted partners,' his post said. Unleashing the power of tourism as a foreign exchange engine Mahindra described tourism as one of India's most underused sources of foreign exchange and job creation. He called for a major push to speed up visa processing, improve tourist services, and develop dedicated tourism corridors around popular destinations, with guaranteed safety, cleanliness, and hygiene. 'These corridors can serve as models of excellence, encouraging other regions to emulate and raise national standards.' "And a broader action agenda to build on these pillars: Liquidity & Support for MSMEs; Infrastructure Investment acceleration; A Manufacturing Push, via enhancement and expansion of the scope of PLI schemes; Rationalise import duties so that duty on manufacturing inputs are lowered and assist in improving our competitiveness," he stated. Ending his post with a call for self-reliance, Mahindra wrote, "Let the unintended consequences we create be the most intentional and transformative ones of all. We cannot fault others for putting their nations first. But we should be moved to make our own nation greater than ever." As tensions simmer between Washington and New Delhi, the coming weeks may prove critical in determining whether India can transform this pressure into progress.
