00:00India is bracing for a sharp blow to its overseas trade as steep US tariffs take effect on a range of Indian products.

00:10US President Donald Trump had initially announced a 25% tariff on Indian goods,

00:16but imposed an additional 25% earlier this month due to India's purchases of Russian oil,

00:22bringing the combined tariffs to 50%.

00:26Officials have warned the new duties could make shipments to the US commercially unviable,

00:31triggering job losses and slower economic growth.

00:35Labour-intensive sectors such as textiles, gems and jewellery, leather goods, food and automobiles will likely be the most impacted.

00:44The government has begun working on reforms to boost local consumption and insulate the economy.

00:50The trade ministry is also weighing steps to expand exports to other regions,

00:55particularly Latin America, Africa and Southeast Asia.

00:59Trade negotiations underway with the European Union could gain renewed urgency

01:04as India works to reduce its dependence on the US market.
