Divya Delhi: US President Trump revealed plans to levy a 25% tariff on imported automobiles and related components starting next week. The EU and Canada have criticized the proposal. Since the duty will apply to all imports, US consumers may face price spikes of up to $6,000 per vehicle, which may limit demand and affect all companies, even international ones. Given their small car exposure, Indian automakers would likely survive, but industry sources warned the major impact might be in components and tyres, where the US is the biggest export market. Jaguar-Land Rover, owned by Tata Motors, may be affected. From India, 29% of car parts were exported to the US for $2.2 billion. US tyre shipments totaled Rs 4,259 crore (approximately $500 million), 17% of Indian exports abroad. Both divisions have benefited from multinational automakers' China + 1 strategy in recent years. Automotive Tyre Manufacturers Association director general Rajiv Budhraja said Indian tyres may stay ahead provided tariffs are implemented similarly across exporting nations. Automotive specialists claimed that applies to other parts.  The US consumes fewer than 1% of US exports of passenger cars and trucks. India's right-hand drive cars are largely sold in West Asia, South Africa, Saarc, and Africa. Southeast Asian, African, and Latin American markets buy most two-wheelers.
