US top market for India’s aluminium, new tariffs threaten $1-billion exports

India’s aluminium industry is facing a significant challenge due to new tariffs imposed by the United States, which could threaten up to $1 billion in exports. The U.S. is one of the top markets for India’s aluminium, and the imposition of these tariffs could disrupt trade relations and hinder the growth of the aluminium export sector.
This move is part of broader global trade tensions that have escalated in recent years, with both nations imposing tariffs on various goods.

The potential impact could be severe for Indian aluminium manufacturers who rely on the U.S. as a key market for their products. India has been a major exporter of primary aluminium and its products, and the new tariffs could force Indian companies to look for alternative markets, though these alternatives might not be able to fully compensate for the loss of the U.S. market
