印度政府估计,美国新征收的50%关税将影响价值482亿美元的出口。官员们警告说,额外的关税可能会使运往美国的货物在商业上不可行,从而可能导致失业和经济增长放缓。为了减轻影响,政府正在制定一项多管齐下的战略,包括旨在提振国内需求的商品及服务税(GST)改革。自周三(8月27日)起生效的50%关税预计将对纺织品、虾、皮革、宝石和珠宝的出口造成最严重的打击。美国占印度海鲜出口的近40%,这使得该行业,尤其是虾,特别容易受到影响。药品、电子产品和石油产品仍然免征新关税。据《经济时报》报道,印度在2025财年向美国出口了价值860亿美元的商品。
The Indian government estimates that the newly imposed 50% US tariff will affect exports worth USD 48.2 billion. Officials have warned that the additional duties could make shipments to the US commercially unviable, potentially leading to job losses and slower economic growth. To soften the impact, the government is working on a multi-pronged strategy, including Goods and Services Tax (GST) reforms aimed at boosting domestic demand. The 50% tariff, effective from Wednesday (August 27), is expected to hit exports of textiles, shrimp, leather, and gems and jewellery the hardest. The US accounts for nearly 40% of India’s seafood exports, making the sector—especially shrimp—particularly vulnerable. Pharmaceuticals, electronics, and petroleum products remain exempt from the new duties. According to The Economic Times, India exported goods worth USD 86 billion to the US in FY2025.
