India’s chief economic adviser says Trump’s tariffs could shave 0.5% off GDP: report
- US last month doubled tariffs on imports from India to 50%.
- Indian FM says country will continue to buy Russian oil.
- US-India two-way goods trade totalled $129 billion in 2024.
US President Donald Trump’s 50% tariffs on India could reduce the country’s gross domestic product by half a per cent this year, the nation’s Chief Economic Adviser V Anantha Nageswaran said in a Bloomberg TV interview on Monday.
“Depending upon how long it lasts even in this financial year, it may translate into a GDP impact of somewhere between 0.5% to 0.6%,” he told the broadcaster.
Trump, who is seeking to broker an end to the Ukraine conflict, has said India’s oil imports are helping fund Moscow’s war effort and last month doubled tariffs on imports from India to 50%.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last week the world’s third-biggest oil importer and consumer will continue to buy Russian oil as it proves economical.
US-India two-way goods trade totalled $129 billion in 2024, with a $45.8 billion US trade deficit, according to US Census Bureau data.
Exporter groups estimate the tariffs could affect nearly 55% of India’s $87 billion in merchandise exports to the US, while benefiting competitors such as Vietnam, Bangladesh and China.
Nageswaran said he would stick to the government’s 6.3-6.8% growth forecast for the current fiscal year ending in March 2026, citing the April-June quarter’s 7.8% expansion, the fastest in over a year.

Pamela Anderson says she’s ‘off the crazy train’ of beauty
Pamela Anderson confessed after foregoing makeup she gained more “freedom” and became more “confident.”
The 58-year-old actress reflected on her journey of natural beauty in a recent chat with People.
“So much more freeing and so much more confidence,” Anderson told the outlet at the New York pop up of her skincare brand, Sonsie.
However, the actress shared that going make-free is a “choice” and for her it came with challenges.
“You do have to work on it. It’s a practice to be confident going out of the house with or without makeup,” the Naked Gun actress added.
Anderson further articulated her thoughts on why she opted to forego makeup, “I just kind of could see something culturally and I thought, ‘I want to jump off the crazy train. I want to be one of the first ones to jump off the crazy train and just peel it back and see what’s going on’.”
“I’ve saved a lot of time,” she quipped.
The Camino Real star was then asked about an advice she want to give her younger self, she noted, “That’s the thing. You look back in hindsight, after having some life experience, you can look back and see yourself. But I mean, I don’t know if I’d give her any advice.”
“You have to discover for yourself, and I would’ve had to discover for myself.”
“If someone told me to do something when I was younger, I wouldn’t have done it. So you just have to kind of find your own inspirations and own reasons” she added.
