US Tariff Threats Impact Indian Textile and Pharmaceutical Sectors Amid Market Shifts
India's textile and pharmaceutical industries face challenges from potential US tariffs. The textile sector is cautious after the US Senate considered tariffs on Indian goods linked to Russian oil, despite gains in UK and EU markets. Apparel exports to the US declined 18% in early 2024, with industry leaders hoping for trade negotiations. Meanwhile, Indian pharma benefits from a tariff transition period until 2028 but is shifting focus to specialty drugs and diversified markets due to cost challenges in relocating production to the US.
