India in the dark about details of Trump's tariff plans

With just four days to go before they kick in, it is still unclear if India is among the select group of countries that may be spared US President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs.

"Although President Trump has stated that limited exceptions for select countries could be worked out under the reciprocal tariffs set to take effect from 2 April, it is not yet known whether these exceptions will be extended to India," director general of foreign trade (DGFT) Santosh Sarangi told Mint.

The statement draws significance as a US delegation led by Assistant US Trade Representative Brendan Lynch is in New Delhi for talks on a bilateral trade agreement (BTA) that started on Wednesday.
