With Trump’s 25% tariffs set to come into effect, New Delhi is exploring its next move. While official statements reaffirm India’s commitment to talks, reports suggest multiple available pathways. These include stepping up U.S. imports—like natural gas and tech—to ease trade tensions. India may also look to fast-track deals with other partners such as the EU, Chile, and Oman. Another option could be strengthening domestic production and demand, possibly by extending manufacturing incentives or launching a stimulus—similar to China’s recent efforts. None of these paths are confirmed. But what’s clear is this: India is preparing to navigate a complex trade challenge.
