Donald Trump's tariff impact on trade: India may benefit from lower US duties; Moody's sees manufacturing boost amid APAC disruption
India may face fewer tariff headwinds from the US than many of its Asia-Pacific peers, helping the country attract greater investment flows and strengthen its position as a global manufacturing hub, Moody's Ratings said on Thursday. The ratings agency, in its outlook on APAC sovereigns, noted that several export-heavy economies across the region were hit by steep US tariff hikes in April 2025. Countries like Vietnam and Cambodia—previous beneficiaries of a supply chain pivot out of China—now risk losing their cost advantage amid rising trade frictions, PTI reported. 'In contrast to countries like Cambodia and Vietnam, India has the potential to emerge as a beneficiary of a tariff-driven shift in investment and trade flows. India may be subject to lower tariffs than many in APAC,' Moody's said, pointing to a potential upside for the Indian economy. The agency noted that India's recent free trade agreement (FTA) with the UK and ongoing negotiations with the EU could further support its push to become a preferred alternative to China in global supply chains. However, it cautioned that Washington's push to reshore select industries could limit the scope of gains India can capture. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now India is currently negotiating a mini trade deal with the US, as a 90-day suspension of a 26% reciprocal tariff on Indian goods expires on July 9. While the US has retained its 10% baseline tariff, India is pressing for complete exemption from the additional duties. The talks are at a critical stage, with New Delhi seeking more access for its labour-intensive exports, and the US pushing for concessions on farm produce. Officials from both sides are aiming to close negotiations before the tariff suspension deadline. Moody's warned that persistent trade policy ambiguity is hurting investment decisions and weighing on long-term economic planning across the region. 'Uncertainty about trade policy and a potential overhaul of global trade have raised cyclical and possibly structural credit risks in APAC,' the ratings firm said. It added that even as tariff-linked supply chain shifts could benefit India in the long run, realignment of global sourcing strategies will be gradual at best. 'It is unlikely that multinational companies will make drastic investment changes while there is still significant uncertainty about the magnitude of tariffs and whether they will persist,' Moody's noted. 'Instead, companies will likely slow or pause ongoing investments while they wait for a steady state on trade policies to emerge. Even then, any decision to relocate manufacturing or product sourcing will take years to execute,' it added. Looking ahead, Moody's expects the interest rate environment to become more accommodative in the second half of 2025, both globally and across the APAC region, in response to a weaker economic outlook.

CM launches 27 integratedclusters across 26 districts
Lucknow: Calling expressways the backbone of Uttar Pradesh's economy, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday inaugurated 27 Integrated Manufacturing and Logistics Clusters (IMLCs) across 26 districts. "Through these clusters, the state aims to harness the power of expressways. Spread over more than 13,240 acres on both sides of five expressways, these clusters will serve as a major catalyst in UP's economic journey," the CM said. He also noted that all six nodes of the Defence Corridor are being developed along the expressways. Describing the initiative as a step towards realising Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of making Uttar Pradesh the hub of India's industrial development, the CM added, "Over the past eight years, the double-engine govt has established Uttar Pradesh as the 'Expressway State', making it the first choice for investors." The CM said that the clusters would represent a new Uttar Pradesh for a New India. "Security, land banks, and necessary infrastructure are the primary prerequisites for investment, and UP has made remarkable progress in all these areas," he said. Referring to the recent inauguration of the Gorakhpur Link Expressway, the CM said he had travelled on it himself and found it both fast and comfortable. "Once considered backward and avoided by investors, UP is now realising a big dream through the development of IMLCs," he said. He also emphasised the need to develop industries and factories both horizontally and vertically to maximise space utilisation. The CM added that the IMLC model would become a benchmark for the rest of the country, enhancing global investment and job creation. He also instructed officials to ensure sufficient manpower and investor-friendly execution of the IMLC clusters. During the event, chief secretary Manoj Kumar Singh briefed the CM about the progress of ongoing and upcoming expressway projects across Uttar Pradesh. While reviewing the Meerut-Haridwar Expressway, the CM suggested aligning the route to connect with Shukteerth, a significant cultural site. He also emphasized that expressway construction should minimize damage to forest areas. Officials said that under the IMLC initiative, investors will receive benefits such as competitive land pricing, specialised logistics services, seamless road, rail, and air connectivity, dedicated basic infrastructure, a transparent land allocation process, a favourable industrial environment, and ready labour availability. Investors will also have access to tailor-made land allocations, bulk land allotments at designated nodes, and the opportunity to develop industrial parks under the PPP model. Cabinet minister Nand Gopal Gupta 'Nandi' and minister of state Jaswant Singh Saini and several senior officials were also present at the event. CM reviews under-construction expressways Lucknow: The Chief Minister also reviewed the progress of both operational and under-construction expressways in the state. He was informed that defence nodes are being developed across a total of 5,184 acres in six districts. "Of this, 5,017 acres have already been acquired by the authority, while 167 acres remain to be acquired. The districts where these defence nodes are being developed include Chitrakoot, Jhansi, Kanpur, Aligarh, Lucknow, and Agra. Companies such as BrahMos, Bharat Dynamics, Adani Defence and Aerospace, Modern Material Science Private Limited, Deep Explo, Aerolloy Technology, and Tata Technologies are already operational in these areas," officials said.
