India has doubled its proposed retaliatory duties against the US at the World Trade Organization in response to increased tariffs on steel and aluminium by the Trump administration.
India's move aims to recover about $3.8 billion in duties, doubling its proposed duties after the US doubled its tariffs to 50% in June.
This posturing at the WTO coincides with fresh negotiations for a bilateral trade agreement between India and the US, with a tariff pause date now set for August 1.
The first rounds of negotiations did not result in a deal by the July 9 deadline, and both sides are now looking to reach an agreement within the next 20 days.
