10% US tariff on India: What it means for the country's exports

The United States imposed a 10% tariff on Indian goods under Section 301, lower than previous proposals.

Economists say the immediate impact on India's exports will be limited, but the move provides certainty after months of shifting proposals.

Sustained export growth depends on broadening India's global footprint and diversifying exports beyond single markets.

Economist Sunil R Parekh called the tariff reduction a positive outcome reflecting India's negotiations with the US.

Widening India's export footprint is seen as the most effective safeguard against policy changes in any one country.
