CarpetsCarpets, a major component of India’s $10.3 billion textile exports to the U.S., now face tariffs of up to 52.9%.
Chemicals: India’s $2.7 billion in organic chemical exports face tariffs of 54%, threatening global competitiveness.
Auto parts: Exports worth $2.8 billion to $9 billion face tariffs of 25% to 50%, with a projected 12% decline, heavily impacting MSMEs.
Even if the additional tariffs take effect, more than a third of Indian exports to the U.S.—including pharmaceuticals, electronics, and petroleum products—will remain exempt.
Still, the measures will undermine the overall competitiveness of Indian exports, particularly in labor-intensive sectors such as textiles, gems, and jewelry.
