18% U.S. tariff on ‘Made in India’ products, says PM Modi after phone call with President Trump
Indicating a positive turn in a bilateral relationship that had been under strain because of multiple issues, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that “Made in India” products will “now” attract a “reduced tariff of 18%” in the U.S., after a telephonic conversation with President Donald Trump on Monday.
The move is expected to significantly reduce the impact of the 50% penalty tariffs that Mr. Trump had imposed on India in August 2025.
Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal welcomed the developments.
