New Delhi: US President Donald Trump\u2019s decision to impose a 50 percent tariff on Indian goods has sparked concern across global markets, but Indian industrialists are choosing to see opportunity amid the turmoil.<\/p>\n
With 25 percent of the tariff already in effect and the remainder to be implemented by August 27, the move is expected to significantly affect Indian exports.<\/p>\n
Despite the potential economic blow, top Indian business leaders have responded with optimism, describing the situation as a modern-day ‘Amrit Manthan’\u2014a mythical churning that produced both poison and nectar.<\/p>\n
Mahindra Group chairman Anand Mahindra likened the current global trade turbulence to the 1991 economic crisis that led to India\u2019s liberalisation. He said that just as India turned that crisis into a transformative moment, it could once again extract something positive from today\u2019s disruptions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe global tariff war is creating new directions in the world economy,\u201d Mahindra said, noting that countries like France and Germany are beginning to reduce dependence on others for their security, while simultaneously making key economic policy shifts. Germany\u2019s changes, he believes, could become the new engine for European growth.<\/p>\n
Mahindra also pointed to Canada, which has begun dismantling internal trade barriers to facilitate free trade between provinces\u2014a move that could further strengthen its economy.<\/p>\n
These shifts, though triggered by external pressures like Trump’s protectionist policies, could yield long-term benefits for global growth, he said.<\/p>\n
Echoing similar sentiments, industrialist Harsh Goenka said that India \u201cdoes not bow down to anyone,\u201d and viewed the situation as a chance for India to strengthen its global trade positioning.<\/p>\n
As the tariff battle unfolds, Indian industry leaders are urging the country to seize the moment, adapt swiftly, and turn the crisis into a strategic economic gain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
