Trump’s Tariff Move a Wake-Up Call for Indian Manufacturing: PwC India

Dhruva Kulkarni

The latest US tariffs may not directly impact India. Still, they serve as a wake-up call for Indian manufacturers to enhance efficiency and scale, says PwC India Chairman Sanjeev Krishan.

US President Donald Trump has announced new tariffs, including a 10% baseline levy on all imports, a 34% duty on Chinese goods, and a 27% tariff on Indian exports.

Krishan stressed that while India is affected, the key is to focus on long-term competitiveness rather than relying on others facing higher tariffs. He emphasised the need for greater efficiency, stating, “Big can be beautiful and big can be better.”

He also cautioned that the US may use tariffs as leverage in trade negotiations, putting pressure on India in areas like quality control, currency practices, and government procurement.

India’s Manufacturing PMI Hits 8-Month High at 58.1 in March

Dhruva Kulkarni

India’s manufacturing activity surged in March 2025 as the PMI climbed to 58.1, marking an eight-month high and signalling a strong recovery.

New orders hit their highest level since July 2024, driven by strong customer interest, favourable demand, and effective marketing.

Production expanded sharply, though international sales growth slowed to a three-month low, with exports rising in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

Finished goods inventories saw their steepest decline over three years, prompting firms to boost input purchases at the fastest rate in seven months.

Supply chains remained stable, with lead times improving for the thirteenth straight month, while input costs rose due to higher prices of copper, electronics, leather, LPG, and rubber.

Hiring increased steadily, though capacity pressures limited job growth. Manufacturers remained optimistic about future output, supported by strong demand and pending projects.

US slams high India duties on farm goods before 2nd April tariffs

Dhruva Kulkarni

The Donald Trump administration has raised concerns over India’s high tariffs on American farm goods just days before reciprocal duties take effect, increasing pressure on India to ease restrictions in its agriculture sector.

The White House criticised India’s 100% tariff on American farm products, pointing to similar trade barriers in the EU, Japan, and Canada.

A US report highlighted India’s 39% tariff on agricultural imports—eight times the US rate—covering items like apples, corn, and coffee. It also noted non-tariff barriers such as import bans and licensing requirements.

Despite opposition from Indian farmers to free trade deals, New Delhi is considering lowering tariffs on select US agricultural products.

India has already reduced duties on bourbon whiskey and high-end motorcycles, with both nations aiming for a trade deal by October or November.
