How Trump tariffs could impact Indian pharma's $8.7 bn dream run
For long, the high-value US market has driven the growth of the storied Indian generic drugs industry, where companies like Cipla, Sun Pharma and Dr Reddy's Laboratories, among others, have successfully challenged hundreds of off-patent drugs in the US and established a soaring business FY24, India exported $8.7 billion (Rs 76,113 crore) worth of pharma products to the US, which comprises over 11 per cent of India's total merchandise exports to that the same period, India exported $77.5 billion (Rs 6.8 lakh crore) worth of merchandise goods to the US and imported $42.2 billion (Rs 3.7 lakh crore) worth of goods from it, resulting in a trade surplus of $35.3 billion (Rs 3 lakh crore) in India's US is India's largest destination for pharma exports, accounting for over 31 per cent of the country's total pharmaceutical exports. As much as 47 per cent of all generics consumed in the US are imported from India. However, the Donald Trump administration's threat of imposition of a 25 per cent reciprocal tariff from August 1 (up from 0 to 6.7 per cent at present) has thrown the Indian pharma industry in a bind. Shares of Indian pharma companies, led by Sun Pharma, fell close to 6 per cent on the NSE (National Stock Exchange) on August 1 following president Trump's statements on the tariff imposition, and his letters to 17 top US pharma companies asking them to reduce their rates in line with what prevailed in other countries. Some fear Trump may send a similar letter to Sun Pharma, which earns as much as 20 per cent of its total revenues from the US Indian industry was hoping against hope that Trump would not hike tariffs on generic drugs since these are life-saving. However, Trump had indicated earlier this year too that tariffs on pharma products would be 25 per cent from April 2 onwards, without pinpointing any nation. He later gave a 90-day reprieve to countries, and the new deadline for the tariffs was put as August imports roughly $800 million worth of pharmaceutical products from the US, and imposes a tariff of 10 per cent. Experts say that even if higher tariffs are imposed on active pharma ingredients (APIs), which are raw materials going into pharma production, India could still be competitive, if tariffs on other API-supplying countries are higher than that of the US will still be dependent on countries like India since the cost of manufacturing certain drugs in the US would be at least six times compared to that of manufacturing the same product in India, say industry US market, which relies heavily on India for APIs and low-cost generics, would struggle to find alternatives, according to Namit Joshi, chairman of Pharmexcil (Pharmaceuticals Export Promotion Council of India). 'Efforts to shift pharmaceutical manufacturing and API production to other countries or within the US will take at least 3-5 years to establish meaningful capacity,' he was quoted in media reports. advertisement'There is no need for panic. The industry should lie low for now since the US has not yet increased the tariffs. Who else can give the US such competitively-priced goods in large quantities and high quality?' Daara Patel, secretary general of the Indian Drug Manufacturers Association, had said in an interview to INDIA TODAY in April. 'Even if it increases up to 10 per cent, the industry should be able to absorb it or pass it on to the US consumers. They would not mind paying for it since it all works on insurance money,' he what if the US decides to go for a higher tariff? 'In case the US raises tariffs beyond 15 per cent, India will have to look at newer markets in East Africa and the Middle East. These markets are neither high value nor high in volumes, but it will be a better option than dealing with an uncertain US market alone,' Patel had saidSubscribe to India Today Magazine- EndsTune InMust Watch

Dr Reddy's Labs, Lupin: Nifty Pharma slips 2% amid Trump tariff jitters
Pharmaceutical stocks were under selling pressure on Thursday, July 31, 2025, after US President Donald Trump announced a sweeping 25 per cent tariff on all Indian goods. Nifty Pharma slipped 1.5 per cent in trade, logging a day's low at 22,724.7. Last checked, out of 20 stocks on the Nifty Pharma index, 16 declined. Among others, Natco Pharma fell 1.7 per cent, Dr Reddy's Laboratories 1.5 per cent, Lupin 1.3 per cent, Ipca Laboratories 1.3 per cent, Zydus Lifesciences 1.2 per cent, and Granules India 1.2 per cent. India exported over $10 billion in generic drugs and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) to the US in FY25, according to reports. The 25 per cent tariffs on Indian goods threaten to disrupt nearly $129 billion in annual bilateral trade. The tariff order was posted by Trump on Truth Social on July 30, 2025, just days after the fifth round of trade talks concluded in Washington. He hinted at additional penalties related to India's purchases of Russian defence and energy supplies. The sixth round of negotiations is scheduled for late August 2025, with a US delegation visiting New Delhi starting August 25. Earlier in July, Trump had said that he could announce tariffs on pharmaceuticals by the end of July, which could go as high as 200 per cent. The new tariffs were supposed to be a part of a broader 'reciprocal' trade framework scheduled for implementation on August 1, Bloomberg reported. Speaking to reporters after returning from Pittsburgh, Trump said, 'Probably at the end of the month, and we're going to start off with a low tariff and give the pharmaceutical companies a year or so to build, and then we're going to make it a very high tariff.' Trump imposes reciprocal tariffs In April, Trump announced sweeping reciprocal tariffs on more than 100 countries, aiming to incentivise companies to bring manufacturing back to the US. Until recently, pharmaceutical imports had largely been spared from such measures due to their critical nature. But in April, Trump warned of a 25 per cent levy on pharma imports, asserting that the move would reduce US dependence on foreign suppliers such as India and China.

Indian equity market tumbles after Trump imposes 25% tariff on exports
CHENNAI: Indian equity markets opened sharply lower on Thursday, July 31, following the announcement of a 25 percent tariff on Indian exports by US President Donald Trump. The BSE Sensex fell 601.06 points or 0.74 percent to 80,880.80 as of 9:19 am, after opening at 80,695.50. The NSE Nifty 50 also declined significantly, shedding 175.25 points or 0.71 percent to 24,679.80, slipping below the key 24,700 mark in early trade. The gap-down opening was largely anticipated after Trump's surprise tariff decision, which also included a warning of further penalties tied to India's continued oil trade with Russia. The announcement rattled investor sentiment and triggered a broad sell-off across sectors. Analysts noted that export-oriented industries such as textiles, pharmaceuticals, auto components, and gems and jewellery are likely to bear the brunt of the new trade barriers. Within the first 15 minutes of trade, domestic markets lost over ₹5.5 lakh crore in market capitalisation. All 16 sectoral indices were trading in the red, with the small-cap and mid-cap segments each down by more than 1.25 percent. Among the major Nifty 50 laggards were Dr Reddy's Laboratories, Reliance Industries, Bharti Airtel, Mahindra & Mahindra, and Titan Company. On the other hand, a few stocks such as Jio Financial, SBI Life, and Tata Steel managed to hold gains. The Indian rupee also came under pressure, opening at around 87.69 against the US dollar—close to its all-time low—amid fears of a prolonged trade rift. Currency traders now expect the Reserve Bank of India to step in to prevent excessive volatility. Foreign institutional investors have already pulled out nearly $2 billion from Indian equities this month, including $425 million just two days earlier, exacerbating the rupee's weakness. Market experts believe the tariff move is part of a larger negotiation strategy, and many still expect a resolution to be worked out in view of the long-term strategic alignment between the US and India. However, the near-term market outlook remains cautious, with investors awaiting further clarity on trade developments and their possible impact on earnings. Technical analysts see immediate support for the Nifty around 24,600–24,750, while resistance is expected near the 25,000–25,200 zone. The Sensex, similarly, may find support closer to the 80,000 mark. Broader sentiment remains fragile, and unless there is a swift diplomatic or policy response, markets may continue to trade with a negative bias in the short term.
