25% US tariff to hit India's GDP growth by 25-30 bps: SBI Research
The tariff is expected to affect India's gross domestic product (GDP) growth by 25 to 30 basis points (bps) for fiscal 2025-26 (FY26), it said.
Terming the imposition of 25-per cent tariff on India by the US with penalty 'a bad business decision', SBI Research recently said the mysterious forces of global supply chain should auto adjust and cushion the impact. The tariff is expected to affect India's GDP growth by 25 to 30 bps for FY26, it said. US GDP, inflation and currency face greater risk of downgrades compared to India, it noted.
US GDP, inflation and currency face greater risk of downgrades compared to India, it noted.
US tariffs are projected to cost the average US household about $2,400 in the short term, mainly due to higher prices from tariff-driven inflation.
Low-income US families may lose around $1,300, nearly triple the relative burden compared to high earners, while high-income households could face losses of up to $5,000, though with less impact on their overall financial stability, it observed.
India's primary exports will be affected by the 25-per cent US tariff. Among the sectors to be affected the most is textile products, including toilet and kitchen linen; bedspreads; furnishing articles of cotton, not knitted or crochted; and cotton bed linen.
India has been an emerging supplier to US solar Industry, as US is restricting import of Chinese products. Therefore, imports from India to the United States has increased massively in 2023 and reached over 8 GW in 2024.
The new tariff could make solar industry products from India more expensive for US buyers. So Indian supply will become less attractive to US companies, and they may replace solar modules from with tariff-free nations, SBI Research added.

Trump again threatens 'very substantial' tariff hikes for India over Russian oil
By Andrea Shalal and Aftab Ahmed Trump again threatens 'very substantial' tariff hikes for India over Russian oil WASHINGTON/NEW DELHI -U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he would increase the tariff charged on imports from India from the current rate of 25% "very substantially" over the next 24 hours, in view of New Delhi's continued purchases of Russian oil. He also said a "zero tariff" offer for imports of U.S. goods into India was not good enough, alleging that India was "fuelling the war" in Ukraine. Trump's threat to India over its purchases of Russian oil started on July 31, when he announced a 25% tariff for Indian goods, along with an unspecified penalty. "They're fuelling the war machine, and if they're going to do that, then I'm not going to be happy," Trump told CNBC in an interview on Tuesday, adding that the main sticking point with India was that its tariffs were too high. "Now, I will say this, India went from the highest tariffs ever. They will give us zero tariffs, and they're going to let us go in. But that's not good enough, because of what they're doing with oil, not good." An Indian government source said that India's purchases of Russian oil have helped to stabilise global oil prices by easing the pressure on supplies from other regions. India, the world's third biggest oil importer and consumer, buys more than a third of the oil it needs from Russia. "If we stop buying Russian oil, who will replace those barrels to maintain balance and at the same time prevent the prices from shooting up? We don't want a repeat of 2022 when prices shot up to $137 a barrel," the source said, referring to the oil market spike around the time when Moscow's invasion of Ukraine began. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the source was not authorised to speak to the media. Trump's latest comment followed a similar threat on Monday, which prompted India's Foreign Ministry to say the country was being unfairly singled out over its purchases of Russian oil. "It is revealing that the very nations criticising India are themselves indulging in trade with Russia ," it said in a statement issued late on Monday. "It is unjustified to single out India," it added. The EU conducted 67.5 billion euros worth of trade with Russia in 2024, including record imports of liquefied natural gas that totalled 16.5 million metric tons, the Indian ministry said. The United States continues to import Russian uranium hexafluoride for use in its nuclear power industry, palladium, fertilisers and chemicals, it added, without giving a source for the export information. The U.S. embassy and the EU's delegation in New Delhi did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Both the United States and EU have reduced their trade ties with Russia since it launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. SUDDEN RIFT India imported about 1.75 million barrels per day of Russian oil from January to June this year, up 1% from a year ago, according to data provided to Reuters by trade sources. It has faced pressure from the West to distance itself from Russia over the Ukraine war. New Delhi has resisted, citing its longstanding ties with Moscow and economic needs. India's National Security Adviser Ajit Doval is likely to go ahead with a scheduled visit to Russia this week, two government sources said. Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar is expected to visit in the coming weeks. The sudden rift between India and the U.S. has been deepening since July 31. Trump has said that from Friday he will impose new sanctions on Russia as well as on countries that buy its energy exports, unless Moscow takes steps to end the war with Ukraine. The trade tensions have caused concern about the potential impact on India's economy. The equity benchmark BSE Sensex .BSESN closed down 0.38%, while the rupee dropped 0.17% versus the dollar.

India needs concentrated tooling hubs for advanced manufacturing for aerospace and space domain: S Somanath
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Former Indian Space Research Organisation ( ISRO ) chairman S Somanath on Tuesday said there is an urgent need to develop tooling hubs in India to truly scale advanced manufacturing. He emphasised that India must create focused, concerted manufacturing ecosystems similar to those in at the Accel Advanced Manufacturing Summit in Bengaluru, Somanath said India lacks an ecosystem for aerospace manufacturing. 'Distributed hubs across the country are not a good idea for sectors like aerospace. We need concentrated hubs where all players are aggregated, coupled with institutions that add value to research and innovation,' he highlighted that specialised skills such as tooling are often not addressed in the domain. 'We need people with great knowledge in tooling processes, metallurgy, materials manufacturing, machine tools, process engineering, and automation,' he said, while discussing India's next decade building frontier tech also pointed out that while Indian rockets are witnessing strong global demand, the lack of sufficient supply remains a bottleneck that needs immediate attention. 'Manufacturing becomes the crux of the problem. The ability to manufacture and launch in a short period is essential,' he told startups looking to build in the space sector, highlighting that mass manufacturing in satellites and small launch vehicles will be needed to capture the global startups and deeptech investors also echoed his thoughts and said that for India, space as a defence technology has come much later, and there are areas where it still needs to play Cosmos CEO Srinath Ravichandran said the way to address the gap is not to mimic the SpaceX model but to build from scratch. 'Everyone wants to go build a SpaceX, but that may not be the easiest way to build rockets,' he said, adding that instead of replicating the model, solutions can be built from the Indian context for the Rajaram, managing partner at deeptech venture capital firm Speciale Invest, which has backed several spacetech startups, believes, 'There are certain places we (India) can leapfrog, like in-orbit servicing or any action that you can do in orbit. That's very much a level playing field. Maybe the West is just two or three years ahead of us, and India can compete there.'
