US Sanctions Law Raises Uncertainty Over Potential Tariffs on Indian Exports
The US has enacted the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act, authorizing tariffs up to 100% on goods from countries, including India, that purchase Russian oil. Indian exporters across sectors such as textiles, pharmaceuticals, and IT express concern over potential disruptions and uncertainty. Industry bodies like CITI urge the Indian government to engage with the US to protect exporters and seek a balanced trade agreement. The full impact depends on tariff rates, product coverage, and implementation details yet to be announced.
