Trump Tariff Live Updates: Petroleum Ministry Evaluates Russia Penalty
The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas is currently assessing the potential impact of U.S. President Donald Trump’s newly announced 25% tariff on Indian exports. The announcement also states that an additional penalty will be imposed due to India's crude oil imports from Russia. Senior government officials told NDTV Profit that the ministry is awaiting formal executive directives on specific measures.
The US tariff announcement, made late Wednesday, has raised concerns across India’s energy sector, particularly as Russian crude now accounts for nearly 35–40% of India’s total oil imports. India’s energy bill could see a sharp spike if Russian supply is disrupted, a senior official said, adding that refiners may be forced to turn to alternative sources such as the U.S. and Brazil.
India has diversified its crude basket in recent years, but the scale of Russian imports, up nearly tenfold since 2021, makes any abrupt shift both costly and complex. Sources to NDTV Profit also raised concerns over tariff-driven disruptions which may push up global crude prices.

We have done very little business with India, their Tariffs are too high, among the highest in the World. Likewise, Russia and the USA do almost no business together. Let’s keep it that way, and tell Medvedev, the failed former President of Russia, who thinks he’s still President, to watch his words. He’s entering very dangerous territory!"

Stock Market Live: Brokerages On Trump Tariffs
Morgan Stanley
At an aggregate level, India's goods exports to the US are 2.2% of GDP
This implies a less severe direct impact of tariff-related developments
Further, nuances will emerge at the sector level on the basis of the tariff differential with other economies and exposure to the US
Remain watchful of the developments from the next round of negotiations
The second order impact of the tariffs through weaker corporate confidence and deferred capex cycle, which in our view is likely to be more pronounced
Textiles make up comprise close to half of India's overall exports, while the share of pharma products is 40%
Nuvama
India’s goods exports to the US may be hurt, but it is small as a share of GDP
Some loss in exports to the US could be offset by redirecting exports to other nations
Recent INR weakness, if it sustains, could also work to limit the tariff impact
Bigger implication of the US tariffs could be the shrinking of US trade deficit, especially amid weaker USD and higher rates
This shall impart a deflationary impulse to the global economy, hurting trade, growth and earnings everywhere
This will keep markets volatile as FII flows could soften – key market movers now
See more global monetary easing is likely down the line
Dam Capital
Final tariffs for some ASEAN countries have now come through, at lower than the 25% for India
India has stood its ground in not agreeing to lowering tariffs for agri-products
India can gain if the tariffs on China remain substantial
If most of the adverse effects eventuate, the worst case impact would be 30 bps to GDP growth
Greater immediate macro impact depends on whether FII outflows & INR depreciation accelerate
Negative: Auto, Renewables (higher tariffs relative to competition)
Neutral for now: EMS, Cap goods, Steel/ aluminium, Oil & Gas, Pharma
Mixed: Chemicals, Textiles (dependent on final tariff rate for Bangladesh)
