Impact of US Reciprocal Tariffs on Indian Sectors

The U.S. has imposed a 26% reciprocal tariff on Indian exports, affecting $87.4 billion worth of trade. However, India faces lower tariffs than China, with a 34% tariff, Vietnam (46%), Bangladesh (37%), and Thailand with a 36% tariff, making it relatively better positioned. The impact on India’s GDP remains limited since bilateral goods trade with America constitutes only 3% of our GDP, but key export industries will face pressure. Steel, aluminum, and auto components are exempt since they already faced a 25% tariff under earlier trade actions.

Sector-wise Impact
Gems & Jewellery

India exports $11.88 billion worth of gemstones and jewellery to the U.S., accounting for 13% of total jewellery exports. The tariff will likely reduce demand, especially for loose diamonds and gold-studded jewellery, impacting exporters and manufacturers.

Electronics

India exported $14 billion worth of electronics to the U.S. in 2023-24, with the U.S. previously imposing only a 0.41% duty. The new tariff is a major increase, but since competitors like China and Vietnam face even higher tariffs, it positions India as a preferred alternative.

Agriculture & Seafood

India exports 6.04 billion worth of agricultural products to the U.S. The biggest impact will be on shrimp exports, with 40% of Indian shrimp going to the U.S.

Textiles

Indian apparel exports to the U.S. previously faced 12-14% tariffs, which will now experience an additional rise of 26%. However, with Bangladesh and Vietnam facing even higher tariffs, India may gain a competitive edge in the textile market.
