Trump’s tariffs could reduce India’s GDP by 0.5%, says CEA Anantha Nageswaran

India’s CEA V. Anantha Nageswaran said US President Trump’s 50% tariffs could trim India’s GDP by 0.5–0.6% this year, with greater risks if extended. The tariffs hit exports like textiles and jewellery, India’s key US markets. Still, he maintained a 6.3–6.8% growth outlook, citing strong Q1 growth, tax cuts, low inflation, GST relief, and fiscal support.
