The Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India (ACMA) has taken note of the recent executive order signed by U.S. President Donald Trump on April 2, 2025, as part of the “Liberation Day” initiative. It understands the intent of the U.S. administration is to boost domestic manufacturing and address trade imbalances.
In a press note issued by Shradha Suri Marwah, President ACMA and CMD Subros Ltd, it said, “It is to be noted that autos & auto parts and steel & aluminium articles, already subject to Section 232 tariffs at 25%, announced earlier in President Trump’s order on March 26, 2025, are not covered in the aforementioned order. The detailed list of auto components that will be subject to 25% import tariff in the US is however awaited.”
ACMA remains hopeful that the ongoing bilateral negotiations between the Indian and U.S. governments will lead to a balanced resolution that benefits both economies. We believe that the strong trade relationship between India and the United States, especially in the auto components sector, will encourage continued dialogue to mitigate the impacts of these measures. ACMA is committed to engaging with all stakeholders to ensure the long-term interests of the Indian auto component industry, noted Marwah in her press statement.
