50%关税生效！印度将损失370亿美元，买俄油省的钱全搭进去都不够

Group 1 - The United States has imposed a new 25% tariff on India, resulting in a total tariff of 50% on nearly all goods and services exported from India to the U.S., making India the country with the highest tariffs from the U.S. [1] - In 2024, India exported over $80 billion worth of goods and services to the U.S., including pharmaceuticals, telecommunications equipment, jewelry, fertilizers, cotton textiles, electronics, and seafood. The new tariffs are expected to significantly impact India's "Make in India" initiative, leading to industry shrinkage and layoffs [3]. - Following the imposition of the 50% tariff, India's exports are projected to suffer a loss of up to $37 billion, which is insufficiently offset by the $17 billion saved from purchasing cheap Russian oil since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022 [3]. Group 2 - India has become the second-largest buyer of Russian oil, with its share of Russian oil exports rising from 1% in 2020 to 36% in 2025, while China's share increased from 34% to 46% [6]. - U.S. officials have criticized India's substantial purchases of Russian oil, claiming it provides funding for the Kremlin and undermines U.S.-India relations [8]. - The Indian refining industry has begun to adapt under U.S. pressure, with state-owned refineries starting to purchase non-Russian oil from the U.S., Brazil, and the Middle East [13]. Group 3 - Despite U.S. pressure, the Indian government maintains a firm stance, with reports indicating that former President Trump attempted to contact Prime Minister Modi regarding tariff issues but was unsuccessful [16]. - Indian Prime Minister Modi has engaged in discussions with Ukrainian President Zelensky about bilateral cooperation, but has not made concessions regarding limiting Russian energy exports [19]. - Indian state-owned oil companies have resumed purchasing Russian oil, indicating that as long as prices remain low, India is unlikely to abandon Russian oil [22].
