"A combination of different factors, such as product differentiation, demand, quality, and contractual arrangements, would determine the impact on India's exports," he said.
The minister was replying to a question about whether the government has made any assessment on the impact of the USA's reciprocal tariff threat on Indian goods.
He informed that a reciprocal tariff at the rate of 25% is proposed to be imposed on certain goods exported from India to the USA starting from August 7. US President Donald Trump has also announced an additional 25% tariff, to be effective from August 27. With this, the total tariff on Indian goods is now 50%.
"It is estimated that around 55% of the total value of India's merchandise exports to the US will be subject to this reciprocal tariff," he said.
