“US 50% Tariffs Hit India: Which Sectors Will Adapt and Survive?”

US 50% Tariff Surge: What Does It Mean for India?

From today, Indian exporters face a massive 50% tariff increase in the US. This move is likely to impact a wide range of labor-intensive sectors, forcing industries to rethink their strategies.

Immediate Impact on Indian Exports

• India may struggle to retain its US market share in the short term.
• Labour-intensive sectors are expected to face the brunt of tariffs.
• South Asian peers currently face tariffs around 20%, giving them a relative advantage.

Medium to Long-Term Strategies

• Industries are exploring alternative markets like UAE, Australia, and the UK.
• EU markets can serve as potential alternatives for certain exports.
• Countries like Russia, Belarus, and Kyrgyzstan are being considered for niche products.
• Value addition in products with less competition could mitigate impact.

Pharma Sector Perspective

• Pharma exporters may need to explore new markets, but approvals can take time.
• Overall, India’s pharma sector remains relatively safe and unaffected by US tariffs.

Investors and exporters should watch how Indian companies pivot to new markets while managing the short-term tariff shock. Banking initiatives supporting US exporters could play a key role in sustaining growth.
