India Navigates US Tariffs, Eyes Export Opportunities
The US is changing its trade rules, like imposing tariffs, which is affecting how businesses around the world trade.
For India, this means both good and bad things.
Some people think it's a way for the US to put its own interests first, and others see it as a chance for India to step up and sell more goods to other countries.
Businesses in India that sell medicine, clothes, and build things are particularly impacted.
They need to figure out how to handle these new rules to either keep doing what they're doing or to grab a new opportunity.
US trade policy changes are impacting Indian exporters.
Reciprocal tariffs create challenges and opportunities.
Pharmaceutical, textile/apparel, and infrastructure sectors are affected.
Some see the policy as economic nationalism.
Others see an opening for India to become a global alternative.
