Introduction: Global Trade Tensions & New Opportunities
The global trade environment is shifting once again. Former U.S. President Donald Trump has reintroduced tariffs on Indian goods — a move aimed at pressuring India for its continued oil trade with Russia. While this political development signals rising tensions, it also opens the door to new trade partnerships, especially for countries and businesses looking for reliable import-export partners outside the U.S.-China sphere.
What’s Happening Between the U.S. and India?
In a bold move, the U.S. has reinstated tariff duties on various Indian exports. The reason? India’s diplomatic stance of continuing to purchase oil from Russia, despite ongoing Western sanctions. This has created friction between two powerful economies and is expected to impact global supply chains, particularly for buyers dependent on Indian manufacturing.
But what does this mean for international buyers outside of the U.S.? Opportunity.

Stable Pricing vs. Rising Costs in the U.S. & China
While Western suppliers may hike prices due to tariff volatility and political risks, Indian exporters offer stable pricing, supported by strong raw material availability and consistent government support for Make in India initiatives.
Custom Manufacturing & Private Label Services
Indian exporters are highly adaptive to custom specifications, private label manufacturing, and technical compliance for international standards — giving buyers more flexibility than off-the-shelf OEMs from other regions.
Flexible MOQs & Faster Delivery for Global Clients
Unlike large-scale manufacturers that demand high volume orders, Indian suppliers — including Ashok Industry — work with flexible Minimum Order Quantities and shorter delivery timelines. This helps small to medium-sized importers reduce capital risk and improve inventory cycles.
Decades of Export Experience with Certifications
Trusted Indian exporters come with decades of experience, ISO certifications, and a clear understanding of global documentation, HS codes, and packaging requirements — ensuring hassle-free international trade.
