India Engaged with US on Trade Deal and Tariff Developments
The Indian government informed Parliament that it is actively engaged with the US regarding their trade relationship, following a trade deal announced in February 2026. A joint statement led to the removal of 25% additional US tariffs on certain Indian exports linked to Russian oil imports. While reciprocal tariffs were invalidated by the US Supreme Court, a 10% tariff on specific products remains under US Trade Act provisions. The government continues to monitor developments and study the situation closely.
