India has formally notified the World Trade Organization that it plans to impose retaliatory duties on U.S. products after Washington levied a 25% ad-valorem tariff on Indian passenger vehicles, light trucks and certain auto parts. In its 4 July filing to the WTO’s Council for Trade in Goods, New Delhi said the American measure—introduced on 26 March and described by India as an un-notified safeguard action—violates WTO rules. According to the notification, the U.S. tariff will affect about $2.89 billion of Indian exports and generate roughly $725 million a year in additional duties. India therefore reserves the right to suspend trade concessions and collect an equivalent amount—estimated at $724–725 million—by raising tariffs on selected imports from the United States. The list of targeted goods and specific rates has not yet been disclosed, and India said it may amend them as the dispute evolves. The move escalates tensions as the two countries try to conclude a limited trade accord before a 9 July deadline set by President Donald Trump, who has warned he may introduce a broader 26% tariff on all Indian imports if talks stall. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal reiterated that India will agree to a deal only if it protects national interests, signalling little appetite for concessions on agriculture or dairy even as discussions continue.
