US' 50% Tariff Wall: Dairy, Gems & Carpets Face The Heat—Will Indian Exporters Survive? | Debate

Indian export sectors are reacting to a 50% tariff imposed by the USA. The President of the Indian Dairy Association, RS Sodhi, stated the dairy industry will see minimal impact on its small export volume to the US and emphasized that India rightly protected its domestic market by refusing tariff cuts on imports. He noted, "in India, dairy is not a business, it’s a livelihood for 80 million families." In contrast, representatives from the gem and jewellery and handmade carpet industries described a significant blow. Colin Shah of Kama Jewellers highlighted that exports are already down and called for urgent government action, including new trade agreements, to prevent further damage and job losses. Mahavir Sharma, a carpet exporter, expressed cautious optimism in the long run due to India’s market dominance but acknowledged immediate slowdowns and potential loss of artisans. #ustariff #indiaustrade #indianexports #tradewar #dairy #gemsandjewellery #carpets #indianeconomy #makeinindia #exportimpact #gst #artisans #livelihood #tradepolicy #indianbusiness
