50% US Tariffs Take Effect
The closure comes amid heightened market jitters as the United States imposed 50% tariffs on Indian goods, effective today. The Trump administration confirmed an additional 25% duty from 12:01 AM EDT (9:30 AM IST) on August 27, 2025, through a draft order by the US Department of Homeland Security.
The order stated the additional tariff would apply to Indian goods “entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 am EDT on August 27, 2025.”
