As the U.S. prepares to impose steep tariffs on Indian imports, with a significant 50% tax set to take effect soon, India is bracing for a potential economic fallout. The latest measures, which also include an additional 25% tariff, impact various sectors including textiles and leather, raising alarms among exporters. In response, the Indian government is engaging in high-level meetings to devise strategies to counter the U.S. offensive. Amidst these escalating trade tensions, Indian officials have stressed the importance of diplomacy, while industry leaders express concerns over livelihood impacts. The ongoing dialogue between the two nations has been disrupted, with reports of trade talks being called off as both sides navigate the complexities of their economic partnership. Analysts suggest that India may need to adapt significantly to address these challenges and safeguard its interests in the evolving global trade landscape.
