Industry bodies seek govt intervention
India's micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) — which contribute over 45 per cent to outbound shipments — are facing a major disruption following the United States (US) decision to impose 50 per cent additional tariffs on the country's exports.
MSME industry bodies have raised an alarm over the deep impact, seeking immediate government intervention.
Vinod Kumar, president of the small and medium enterprises forum (SME Forum), said the hike could lead to an annual loss of over $30 billion in business, with MSMEs being hit the hardest due to their limited financial buffers and capacity constraints.
Anil Bhardwaj, secretary general of the Federation of Indian Micro and Small & Medium Enterprises, termed the tariff shock as a "very tough situation" for MSME traders.
