Below the Views on US President Donald Trump imposing additional 25% tariffs on India by Vipul Bhowar, Senior Director - Listed Investments, Waterfield Advisors 

"Initially, these tariff increases seem to function as negotiation strategies; however, their ongoing presence introduces potential future risks. Should these elevated tariffs become permanent, sectors that are labour-intensive, such as jewellery, textiles, and fisheries—primarily composed of MSMEs—would be disproportionately impacted, thereby exerting additional pressure on the labour markets. Given that numerous Indian competitors have obtained more favourable tariff rates, the lack of a trade agreement or delays in establishing one could prompt calls for targeted government assistance for the affected industries."
