Indian exporters from various sectors, including food, marine, and textiles, have sought financial assistance and affordable credit from the government to cope with the 25 per cent Trump tariff.
Exporters are requesting the government to extend fiscal incentives such as interest subsidy and extension of RoDTEP scheme (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products), RoSCTL (Rebate of State and Central Taxes and Levies), timely payment of dues, and a direct shipping line to the US.

The ministry is considering these demands, the official said, adding that the ministry will also engage with states to support the exporters.
The sectors, which would be impacted by the high tax of the US, include textiles/ clothing, gems and jewellery, shrimp, leather and footwear, chemicals, and electrical and mechanical machinery.
Sectors such as certain textile items, chemicals and shrimp are at a more disadvantageous position because India's competitor nations, including Bangladesh (20 per cent), Vietnam (20 per cent) and Thailand (19 per cent), have lower duties, an exporter said.
Another exporter said that the US is a major export destination for Indian shrimp. "Now the exporters should explore new markets such as the UK, China and Japan," the exporter added.
Electronics, including smartphone exports, are recording healthy growth in the US despite uncertainties.

Tariffs as revenue: Change in India's import duties lifted states' income
The last decade or so provides a nice base for studying the trends in government revenue from import tariffs of all types A K Bhattacharya Listen to This Article Everyone these days is talking about tariffs. India has been accused of being a tariff king, suggesting that the country keeps its tariffs high. The United States President Donald Trump has levied additional tariffs of over 50 per cent on imports of most goods from India. Indian exporters are, obviously, worried and concerned. But this piece is not about whether India's tariffs are high. Nor is it about assessing the seriousness of the impact of higher tariffs on Indian exports. Instead, an attempt is being made here to evaluate the impact of tariffs on the exchequer by way of tax

Crude lessons: Reversing slide in domestic output now a strategic necessity
India can, if necessary, switch to many alternate suppliers without much additional cost Ranjan Mathai Listen to This Article United States President Donald Trump's tariff barrage against India for buying Russian oil might be a crude strategy — both to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin on Ukraine and to extract concessions from our trade negotiators. But Mr Trump's claim that a US company could unlock Pakistan's 'massive' oil reserves — and that some might get sold to India — adds insult to our injury! India can, if necessary, switch to many alternate suppliers without much additional cost. (Official statements suggest the 5 million barrels per day we import are now sourced from 40 different
