The India-US trade deal solves a crisis for exporters hit by 50% "Trump Tariffs" and massive job losses. Effective immediately, tariffs drop to 18% in exchange for India halting Russian oil imports and buying $500 billion in US goods. This "father of all deals" boosts labour-intensive sectors like textiles and gems, giving India a competitive edge over rivals like Vietnam and Bangladesh. It secures millions of jobs and is projected to drive India's GDP growth to 6.9%.
