The announcement of 27% reciprocal tariffs on India by US President Donald Trump would bring a major realignment in global trade and manufacturing value chains.
India Inc believes the real impact of the announcements may be gauged only after a proper assessment.
India has been placed in the middle of the tariff rates at 27% in addition to 10% baseline duties, which need to be assessed for real impact.
India's export competitiveness to the US market stands relatively less impacted, and efforts should be made to increase export efficiency and value addition to mitigate the impact of these tariffs.
