The Narendra Modi government on Friday said that there has been no imposition of country-specific, including reciprocal tariffs by the United States on India.
While replying to a question by CPI(M) MP John Brittas in the Rajya Sabha, minister of state (MoS) for commerce and industry Jitin Prasada said that there has been reciprocal tariffs by US on India.
“As of date, there has been no imposition of country-specific, including reciprocal tariffs by the US on India. There has been the imposition of additional duties on steel and aluminium imports by the US from all countries without any exemption,” Prasada said.
"The United States has issued a Memorandum on Reciprocal Trade and Tariffs on February 13, 2025, wherein the Secretary of Commerce and United States Trade Representative are to take necessary actions to investigate harm to the US from any non-reciprocal trade arrangements adopted by trading Partners and provide a report with detailed proposed remedies for each trading Partner, based on which, US action against relevant trading partner could, thereafter be undertaken under any of the relevant US legislations," he said.

US President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticised the high tariffs charged by India. He has earlier said that India is a very high-tariff nation and reiterated that reciprocal tariffs on countries that impose levies on American goods will kick in on April 2.
President Trump had earlier said that India has agreed to cut tariffs significantly all because of him exposing New Delhi for imposing ‘massive tariffs’ on American imports.
“India charges us massive tariffs. Massive. You can't even sell anything in India. They have agreed, by the way; they want to cut their tariffs way down now because somebody is finally exposing them for what they have done,” ANI quoted Trump.
Trump's comments came when India's Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal was in Washington for trade talks with his US counterpart Howard Lutnick. The officials reportedly discussed the process of implementing a multi-sector bilateral trade pact.
