No additional tariffs imposed on Indian exports to US in pharma sector: Govt

"No additional tariffs have been imposed on Indian exports to the US in sectors like pharmaceuticals, and electronics as yet," Prasada said.

According to PTI, he also said the government is engaged with all stakeholders, including exporters and industry, for taking feedback of their assessment of the impact from the reciprocal tariffs imposed by the US.

"The government attaches utmost importance to protecting and promoting welfare of farmers, workers, entrepreneurs, exporters, MSMEs and all sections of industry," Prasada said.

He added that India is involved in the discussions on the India-US bilateral trade agreement (BTA) with the US with the aim to expand trade and investment through tariff stability and long-term trade predictability.

The negotiations are on since March 2025. So far, five rounds of negotiations have been held. The last was from July 14-18 in Washington. For the sixth round of talks, the US team is scheduled to visit India on August 24.
