In the eleven months of 2024, Indian aluminum exports to the US at $777 billion were 11.5 percent of the country’s total exports of $6.7 trillion in 2023.

US President Donald Trump’s plan to impose a 25 percent tariff on all steel and aluminium imports into the America could threaten nearly $1 billion worth of Indian exports, according to an analysis by Moneycontrol.

India’s steel export to the US are a minor fraction of the total steel exports, and the US accounts for only 5 percent of the total exports from India.

The aluminium industry, however, faces a more significant threat, as nearly 12 percent of the country’s exports are aimed for the USA.

Until November 2024, India’s aluminium exports to the US at $777 million were 11.5 percent of the country’s total exports of $6.7 trillion in 2024.
