"This notification is made in connection with safeguard measures extended by the United States of America on imports of automobile parts from India," it said.
On March 26 this year, the US adopted a safeguard measure in the form of a
tariff increase
of 25 per cent ad valorem on imports of passenger vehicles and light trucks, and on certain automobile parts from India.
Live Events
These measures apply from May 3, 2025 as regards automobile parts, and for an unlimited duration.
The measures have not been notified by the United States to the WTO, but are, in essence, safeguard measures.
India has maintained that the measures taken by the United States are not consistent with the GATT (General Agreement on Trade and Tariff) 1994 and the agreement on Safeguards.
As consultations sought by India on these tariffs have not taken place, "India reserves the right to suspend concessions or other obligations", it added.
The safeguard measures would affect USD 2,895 million imports annually into the United States of the relevant products originating in India, on which the duty collection would be USD 723.75 million.
"Accordingly, India's proposed suspension of concessions would result in an equivalent amount of duty collected from products originating in the United States," it said.
The development is important as India and the US are actively negotiating an interim trade agreement to boost trade ties.
India has last month taken similar measures against the US tariffs on steel and aluminium.

'This is not a real gun, pu**y,': HasanAbi trolls critics after facing backlash over toy gun controversy
(Image via @hasanthehun & @dancantstream/X) Popular Twitch streamer and political commentator HasanAbi is back in the headlines, but not for the first time, and definitely not for the last. He is at the center of a heated controversy after flashing a toy gun on stream in response to a death threat. While some called it reckless, Hasan's clapback? 'Soy right is f**king crying about it.' Let's break down what really happened. The Stream That Sparked It All On July 3, 2025, HasanAbi was live when a viewer allegedly sent a threat saying they wanted to 'hang' him. In response, Hasan sarcastically raised a toy gun, threw out a 'good luck,' and moved on. But Hasan quickly clarified: it wasn't real. It wasn't serious. And it definitely wasn't a threat. 'This Is Not a Real Gun, Pu**y' In his very next stream, Hasan was blunt. 'This is not a real gun… pu**y,' he said, holding up the plastic weapon again to prove his point. He explained it was sarcasm and a dark, ironic response to constant death threats. His exact words? 'I say 'good luck' and now the soy right is f**king crying about it… I can't even have a little bit of fun with it?'

He doubled down. Hasan insisted that waving a toy gun in jest is miles apart from real threats or doxxing, especially when you're on the receiving end of hate daily. The MoistCr1TiKaL Comparison To highlight the double standard, Hasan brought up MoistCr1TiKaL's 2023 viral video during his feud with Sneako. Back then, Moist casually held two real guns on camera while dismantling Sneako's arguments. But during his time, the internet cheered and he was praised as an epic takedown. So when Hasan brandishes a toy, and the same crowd calls for a ban? Here's what Hassan said: 'Every single person that masturb**ed when MoistCr1TiKaL did the exact same thing, is now going, 'this guy needs to be banned immediately....'' The hypocrisy, according to Hasan, is crystal clear and political. Not His First Rodeo HasanAbi is no stranger to controversy. From calling out 'psychotic MAGA lawyers' to clashing with conservative creators, he's built a platform that thrives on debate and dissent. But this time, the backlash hit differently, with accusations ranging from doxxing to promoting gun culture. HasanAbi's latest controversy is less about props and more about double standards. While the 'soy right' fumes online, Hasan? He's already moved on and is laughing about it.
