Global markets

50 per cent US tariffs kick in today

The United States is set to impose 50 per cent tariffs on goods imported from India, with the Trump administration confirming an additional 25 per cent duty taking effect from 9:30 AM on August 27, 2025. In a draft order, the US Department of Homeland Security said the 25 per cent additional tariff would apply to Indian goods “entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 am Eastern Daylight Time on August 27, 2025”.

 

According to the Trump administration, the additional tariffs are being introduced because President Donald Trump believes Russia's actions continue to pose a threat to US national security and foreign policy interests. As India continues its purchases of Russian oil, whether directly or indirectly, its exports are being targeted under the new trade measures. The decision is supported by laws such as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). However, India has drawn clear red lines in the trade negotiations, emphasising that its energy security is non-negotiable and it will not allow the US to dictate its sources of crude oil imports.

 

Amid the concerns around the impact of US tariffs on Indian exports, the Indian equity markets witnessed a sharp decline on Tuesday, August 26, 2025. The BSE Sensex fell 849.37 points, or 1.04 per cent, to close at 80,786.54, and the NSE Nifty 50 declined 255.7 points, or 1.02 per cent, to 24,712.05.
