India’s Exports to the U.S. Rise Despite High Tariffs Imposed by President Donald Trump

India’s exports to the United States have increased despite the high tariffs imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. In October—after five months of decline—India’s exports to the U.S. rose for the first time, increasing by 14.5 percent compared with September.

At the end of August, Trump imposed a 50 percent tariff on Indian goods, along with a 25 percent penalty for purchasing Russian oil. These measures had significantly reduced India’s shipments to its largest overseas market.

To help stabilize trade ties, Indian state-owned companies have agreed to import more LPG from the United States. Additionally, Trump has granted exemptions on certain agricultural products from reciprocal tariffs, a move expected to benefit India.

Negotiations on a broader trade agreement between the two countries are ongoing. Indian officials say discussions on key issues are nearing completion.

Although India’s overall exports fell by nearly 12 percent in October, shipments to the U.S. increased. India remains one of the top exporters to the American market, supplying goods such as garments, shrimp, and gems and jewelry.
