Trump's Proposed Tariffs on Indian Generic Drugs Raise Industry and Trade Concerns
US President Donald Trump announced a phased tariff plan imposing up to 200% tariffs on imported generic drugs from 2028, aiming to encourage domestic pharmaceutical manufacturing. India, supplying nearly 40% of US generic medicines and a key export market for Indian pharma companies, faces significant risks. Indian government and industry are engaging in trade talks to mitigate impacts, while experts warn tariffs could raise US healthcare costs and disrupt drug supplies. Market analysts highlight varied exposure among Indian firms, with concerns over potential profit declines and supply challenges.
