US President Trump has announced plans to impose a 25 per cent tariff on imported cars and some components starting next week, a move that sets the stage for retaliation by others, including the EU and Canada, which have slammed the move. India Inc is reportedly in a wait-and-watch mode. Hot off the Press While Indian automakers will largely escape unscathed immediately, given the tiny exposure of the small vehicles made by them, industry players said the real impact could be in segments such as components and tyres, where the US is the biggest export market.
