On the other hand, shipments to the US grew more modestly: 7.2% to $ 6.87 billion, which is significantly lower than 19.9% growth that was reported in July, largely due to the US -stored tariffs on a wide range of Indian goods. Yet the US remains the largest business partner of India.
Could some of them export to the US directed in other countries? Trade experts disagree.
According to Trump’s differential tariff regime, the product has become a major “country of origin” because it determines the rate of tariffs to the US entry into the US, said Ajay Srivastava, founder of the global business research initiative (GTRI), economic Think tank. “For example, a glass bottle produced in India is facing 50% of the American tariff. Transport via Singapore, which faces only 10% of the tariff, does not change its origin. The bottle still attracts 50% of the tariff at entry,” Srivastava said.
“On the other hand, if India exports sodium silicate, raw material, to Singapore and a bottle is produced there, with substantial transformation, in this scenario the country of origin is Singapore, and the finished bottle would attract only 10% of the tariff in the US,” he added.
The US deposited 25% tariff on almost all Indian exports, effective 6th August, followed by another 25% obligation to punish purchases of discounted Russian oil of the new Delhi in August.
American tariffs have received traction and generate monthly incomes of about $ 30 billion, since the end of August 2025, India has been the most difficult hit in a steep 50% obligation, SBI Capital Markets said in its latest ecocapsule edition, monthly analysis. “Yet uncertainty persists after the US Court of Appeal considered fees unconstitutional.”
“The administration escalated the case to the Supreme Court and left three wide results: maintained tariffs, re -negotiations or discarded. As long as the clarity appears, the volatility of business policy remains increased, while key pressure points in cars, electronics and textiles,” he added. “
Certainly, Indian August export was still less than $ 37.24 billion.
During the first five months (April-Duben-August) ongoing fiscal year, the total export between Indian goods increased by 6.2% per year to $ 349.35 billion. While the US remained the largest goal, other markets such as China (by 19.8%), Hong Kong (26.2%) and South Korea (10.2%), showed two -digit growth. The European demand was mixed, with Germany recorded an increase of 11.7%, while the United Kingdom recorded a decline.
Separately in September, the US introduced 100% tariff on imported patented pharmacies if the manufacturer does not stand there for production facilities. The effects of this measure are likely to appear in October business numbers, while the full impact of American tariffs will be seen in September.
Meanwhile, exports have decreased major business partners such as Japan, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, France, Singapore and Australia, and emphasized the impact of the transfer of global dynamics and market pressures and confirmed a wider shift during April in April.
