ET Graphics: India cuts tariffs, counters 'tariff king' tag
Synopsis Despite President Trump's accusations of India being a 'tariff king' and the recent imposition of additional duties on Indian goods, data reveals a different story. India has been consistently reducing both tariff and non-tariff barriers. Interestingly, the targeted tariff cuts implemented by India in January are expected to benefit the United States the most, undermining Trump's claims. iStock

Trump doubles tariffs on India to 50%, but offers 21 days window for negotiations
Ramping up pressure on India before US negotiators are expected to reach India on August 25, US President Donald Trump on Wednesday doubled the tariffs on India to 50 per cent, but there is a 21-day window before the additional tariff of 25 per cent comes into effect, offering India a window to strike a trade deal. A White House statement said that the US will impose 'additional 25 percent ad valorem duty' above the 25 per cent reciprocal tariffs announced on August 1 to 'deal with the national emergency stemming from Russia's actions in Ukraine'. This tariff is deemed necessary and appropriate due to India's 'direct or indirect import of Russian Federation oil', which the President judges will more effectively address the national emergency, the executive order said. The additional tariffs dramatically raises pressure on India as most of its competitors such as Vietnam, Bangladesh and now China are not at lower tariffs. However, exporters said that US tariffs related uncertainty is already disrupting trade and that Indian exporters have grown wary of exporting to the US. About half of India's total exports of $80 billion are, however, in the exemption list that include products such as pharma and electronics goods. While the fresh order takes the total US tariffs to its highest on any country globally, it also offers a fresh window for discussion. The Indian Express had reported on Saturday that key economic ministries have been asked for inputs to sweeten the US trade deal stuck on India's resistance to US demand for access in the Indian agri market. 'This 25 percent ad valorem duty will be effective for goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time 21 days after the date of the order. There are exceptions for goods that were loaded onto a vessel and in transit before this effective date and are entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption before 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on September 17, 2025,' the order read. NEW: President Donald J. Trump just signed an Executive Order imposing an additional 25% tariff on India in response to its continued purchase of Russian oil. Here is the text of the Order: By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the… — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) August 6, 2025 While New Delhi has called the targeting of India over the purchase of Russian oil 'unjustified and unreasonable' and vowed to take 'all necessary measures' to safeguard its 'national interests and economic security', Indian exporters are in a fix, scrambling to retain access to the US — their most valuable export market, accounting for nearly 20 per cent of India's total outbound shipments. Incidentally, China is the largest buyer of Russian oil, at about 2 million barrels per day, followed by India (just under 2 million a day) and Turkey. The US had agreed to lower tariffs on Chinese goods to 30 per cent from 145 per cent in May. The executive order does not make a mention of China, but instead stipulates a mechanism wherein the US Secretary of Commerce, in coordination with other senior officials, 'will monitor if any other country (beyond India) is directly or indirectly importing Russian Federation oil and recommend further action'. Indian officials have indicated that the US is unwilling to negotiate sectoral tariffs — such as those on steel and automobiles — which have already impacted nearly $5 billion worth of Indian exports. Evan A. Feigenbaum, Vice President for Studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said on Monday that US-India relations may now become a political football, especially in New Delhi. He warned that the core understandings that enabled closer ties may be at serious risk, as New Delhi had largely assumed Washington would take political risks to strengthen the relationship — something Trump has not done and clearly will not do. Feigenbaum added that the split in relations is further underscored by Trump's effusive praise for Islamabad and recent engagement with Pakistan's army and government — developments that raise obvious concerns in New Delhi. 'The United States was roiled by India's ties to Iran, Myanmar, and later Russia. Trump and his administration are now moving to sanction and tariff India over its oil trade with Russia. This significantly shifts the bar for bilateral relations,' he said.

RBI keeps repo rate unchanged at 5.5%
MUMBAI: The Reserve Bank of India ( RBI ) held policy rates steady at 5.5% with a unanimous vote from all six members of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), maintaining a 'neutral' stance. The decision aligns with market expectations, as the central bank awaits further transmission of earlier rate cuts and clarity on tariffs. This marks the first status quo under Governor Sanjay Malhotra , who took office earlier this year. The RBI lowered its FY26 inflation forecast to 3.1% from 3.7% earlier, while retaining the growth projection at 6.5%.

In response to US President Donald Trump 's 'dead economy' comment, the RBI governor said, 'We are contributing about 18% to global GDP growth, which is more than the US, where the contribution is expected to be much lower at 11%." Live Events 'So, we are doing very well and will continue to further improve,' he said. 'Volatility Persists' In April, the RBI had cut its FY26 growth forecast from 6.7% to 6.5% in the backdrop of the first set of tariff announcements from the Oval Office 'It is very difficult to predict what the impact will be going forward,' Malhotra said, on whether the projections factor in the impact of punitive tariffs. 'We are hopeful that we will have an amicable solution,' the RBI governor told the media, ahead of the US announcing an additional 25% tariff on Indian goods, following a similar increase on Tuesday. SBI chairman CS Setty said the RBI's decision to hold rates was expected, citing trade uncertainties and lagged policy effects. 'Inflation is likely to remain under check at 3.1% for FY26, and growth impulse is expected to be intact,' he said. LOOMING TARIFF THREAT The MPC's decision came ahead of US President Donald Trump imposing fresh tariffs over New Delhi continuing to purchase oil from Moscow which the Oval Office believes has helped fuel Russia's war efforts. Economists estimate existing 25% tariffs could reduce growth by 20-30 basis points. One basis point is a hundredth of a percentage point. Malhotra said MPC chose to go for status quo amid geopolitical uncertainties and 'wait for further transmission of the frontloaded rate cuts to the credit markets and the broader economy'. The RBI had earlier cut rates by 100 bps and announced a phased 100 bps CRR cut starting September. Goldman Sachs described the policy announcement 'somewhat hawkish'. The 10-year government bond yield climbed 9 basis points (bps) to 6.42%, reaching levels last seen in early May. Yields have risen despite a 50 bps rate cut in June, and Wednesday's decision, along with the governor's comments, tempered expectations of a rate cut in October. 'There will be some volatility; we are living in very uncertain times,' he said. 'The US dollar has seen appreciation and then depreciation, movements on both sides of about 10%.' The Indian rupee edged higher to 87.73 against the dollar, up from its previous close of 87.80. The benchmark BSE Sensex retreated 0.21% to end at 80,543. 'GLOBAL GROWTH ENGINE' Refuting comments from President Trump that India is a 'dead economy,' the governor said that India is contributing significantly to global growth. Economists, including SBI's Soumya Kanti Ghosh, who had advocated easing rates by a quarter percentage point, said the central bank raised the threshold for any further rate cuts. However, Madhavi Arora, chief economist at Emkay Global , argued that focusing narrowly on one-year inflation projections is increasingly misplaced amid shifting global dynamics.
