India Says No New U.S. Tariffs on Pharma, Electronics
The Indian government says the US hasn't added any new taxes on Indian medicine and electronics.
However, some goods from India now have a 25% tax when they go to the US, which started in early August.
The government is watching how this affects businesses.
They are talking with companies and trying to help them find ways to keep selling their products.
They're also looking at ways to promote and diversify Indian exports to offset the impact.

A reciprocal tariff of 25% has been imposed on some goods exported from India to the US, effective August 7.
The government is monitoring the impact of these tariffs on Indian exports.
