US Tariffs on Rivals May Open Doors for India: MAIT

News: Despite a 26% US tariff on Indian goods, India may benefit from significantly higher tariffs on competing hubs like China (54%), Vietnam (46%), and Thailand (36%), according to MAIT.
This disparity boosts India’s appeal in global supply chains, especially in electronics, telecom, and smartphone manufacturing. While India’s $7 billion smartphone exports to the US may face pressure, comparative cost advantages could sustain or even grow shipments.
As global firms seek alternatives to high-tariff nations, India could emerge as a key production base. To fully capitalize, MAIT emphasizes the need for improved ease of doing business, infrastructure, and policy stability. In FY24, India exported $10 billion in electronics to the US, maintaining a strong trade surplus and strategic trade ties.
