Dhruva Kulkarni

India’s economy may avoid major fallout from US trade tensions due to its trade balance. Still, the final impact depends on upcoming trade negotiations, according to a Union Bank of India report.

While the economy remains resilient, currency fluctuations and liquidity conditions are being affected, prompting the RBI and government to take steps to maintain stability.

Key exports like automobiles, gems, steel, and pharmaceuticals remain vulnerable to tariff changes and restrictions.
