India-U.S. Relationship: Trust Defines Partnership, Not Tariffs

• The U.S.’s recent tariff hikes on Indian exports have caused concern and disappointment in India.

• In 2024, India exported goods worth $87.3 billion to the U.S., its single largest trading partner.

• The tariffs have a direct economic impact, with nearly $48–55 billion worth of merchandise at risk.

• The heaviest blows fall on labour-intensive, job-creating sectors, including gems and jewellery, textiles and apparel, agriculture, and leather and footwear.

• Despite the tariffs, a large share of bilateral trade remains unaffected and continues to thrive.

• The most enduring anchor is not trade alone, but people-to-people ties.

• The 4.8 million–strong Indian diaspora in the U.S. excels across medicine, law, business, and politics.

• The U.S. is a key partner in India’s aviation boom, from aircraft fleets to airport modernisation.

• Both nations are collaborating on renewables, green hydrogen, and sustainable fuels.

• Healthcare and pharma: U.S. companies’ partner with Indian firms in R&D and clinical trials.

• Space: NASA-ISRO collaborations extend the partnership beyond Earth itself.

• India’s response must be measured and strategic, diversifying markets in Africa, Latin America, and the Indo-Pacific.

• The deeper truth is that trust defines partnerships, not tariffs.
