The US has imposed a 25% tariff on imported cars and auto components, a move aimed at protecting domestic industries and boosting local manufacturing. This policy is expected to have global repercussions, impacting markets like the EU, Canada, India, and China. While Indian automakers may face limited immediate challenges, auto component manufacturers and tyre companies exporting to the US could experience significant revenue impacts. The tariff aligns with broader trade strategies to encourage US-based production, potentially leading to price hikes for American consumers and shifts in global trade dynamics.
