Indian auto component companies say fear the US could grant selective relaxations to certain countries which could adversely impact them
Noted economist Arthur Laffer warns in a new analysis that President Donald Trump's 25% tariffs on auto imports could add USD 4,711 to the cost of a vehicle, adding that the proposed taxes could weaken the ability of US automakers to compete with their foreign counterparts. In the 21-page analysis obtained by The Associated Press, Laffer, whom Trump awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2019 for his contributions to economics, says the auto industry would be in a better position if the president preserved the supply chain rules with Canada and Mexico from his own 2019 USMCA trade pact. The White House has temporarily exempted auto and parts imports under the USMCA from the tariffs starting on April 3 so that the Trump administration can put together a process for taxing non-US content in vehicles and parts that fall under the agreement. Without this exemption, the proposed tariff risks causing irreparable damage to the industry, contradicting the administration's goals of ...
FY25 wrap: At 6:34 AM, GIFT Nifty Futures were down 28 points at 23,749, suggesting a negative start
Whatever domestic economic gain comes from US President Donald Trump's new 25 per cent tax on imported cars and experts are skeptical automakers around the world are bracing for a lot of pain. In Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Canada and across Europe, the world's largest automakers employ millions of people whose livelihoods depend on US car buyers, who currently spend more than USD 240 billion annually on imported cars and light trucks. The Trump tariffs aimed at boosting US jobs and tax revenues will also affect imported auto parts, which were valued at USD 197 billion last year. The impact will be really huge and very disruptive, said Sigrid de Vries, director general of the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association. Vries and others critics say American car shoppers will also be worse off, as tariffs push prices higher. Policymakers around the world said on Thursday they were weighing their next moves namely, whether to retaliate, and if so, how. But they also express

The new levies could add thousands of dollars to the cost of an average vehicle in the United States
European automakers, already struggling with tepid economic growth at home and rising competition from China, on Thursday decried the US import tax on cars as a heavy burden that will punish consumers and companies alike on both sides of the Atlantic. The new 25 per cent import tax announced by President Donald Trump on Wednesday will hurt global automakers and US manufacturing at the same time," the European Automobile Manufacturers' association said in a statement. The head of Germany's auto industry association, VDA, said the tariffs would weigh on car makers and every company in the deeply interwoven global supply chain "with negative consequences above all for consumers, including in North America. The consequences will cost growth and prosperity on all sides, Hildegard Mller said in a statement. The stakes are enormous for BMW, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Stellantis and their vast network of suppliers, as well as the entire European economy. The US is the biggest expor
Auto stocks, on the other hand, witnessed a sell-off after US President Donald Trump announced a 25 per cent tariff on imported cars and key auto parts, effective April 3
Indian auto component makers are more likely to be impacted than their vehicle manufacturing counterparts by US President Donald Trump's tariff war, industry observers said on Thursday. Trump on Wednesday announced imposition of 25 per cent tariffs on auto imports from April with another 25 per cent tariffs expected to be applied on imports of major automotive parts -- engines and engine parts, transmissions and powertrain parts, and electrical components by May. "It is the Indian auto components industry that is more likely to face the heat due to the US tariff as exports from here to the US are significant. "Indian vehicle makers are less likely to be impacted as there are no direct exports of fully built cars from India to the US," an industry executive told PTI on the condition of anonymity. According to industry estimates, India's auto component exports to the US was USD 6.79 billion in FY24, while the country's imports from the US stood at USD 1.4 billion at 15 per cent duty.

The implications of the US announcement to impose 25 per cent import duty on completely built vehicles and auto parts from April 3 remain limited for India's auto industry and may even present an opportunity for domestic exporters, think tank GTRI said on Thursday. On March 26, US President Donald Trump announced a sweeping 25 per cent tariff on completely built vehicles (CBUs) and auto parts, a move set to take effect on April 3. "An analysis of India's auto and auto component exports in calendar year 2024 suggests that the impact of these tariffs on Indian exporters will be minimal," Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) Founder Ajay Srivastava said. In the case of passenger cars, the think tank said India exported a modest USD 8.9 million worth of vehicles to the US in 2024, which is just 0.13 per cent of the country's total exports of USD 6.98 billion. He said this negligible exposure implies the tariffs will have no real effect on India's thriving car export business and in
