  • India plans to review import tariffs on over 30 items, including luxury cars, solar cells and chemicals, a senior finance ministry official said, potentially leading to increased imports from the United States as global trade tensions grow.

India is set to review its import tariffs and surcharges on luxury cars, helicopters, and solar cells, potentially leading to an increase in imports from the United States. This review comes as part of a broader trade negotiation strategy, aiming to address trade imbalances and foster better economic relations with the U.S. The current surcharges, which were imposed to curb non-essential imports, might be adjusted or removed, particularly affecting items like high-end vehicles and solar equipment. This move could encourage U.S. manufacturers to export more to India, especially in sectors where American companies have a competitive edge. The review is expected to be completed by March 2025, aligning with the end of the current fiscal year, and could influence trade dynamics significantly.
