US Companies in India: Trump has imposed a 50 percent tariff on the import of Indian goods. Apart from this, sometimes he calls India a 'tariff king' and sometimes he calls the economy here 'dead'.

US Companies in India: US President Donald Trump keeps taunting India. Sometimes he calls India a 'tariff king', and sometimes he calls the economy here 'dead'. Trump has also imposed a 50 percent tariff on the import of Indian goods.

From McDonald's and Coca-Cola to Amazon and Apple, many big companies have their business spread in India. Today, India is America's biggest trading partner. In such a situation, if India takes revenge, then America will have to face the consequences.

American companies are doing great business in India

Trump is calling India a 'dead economy', but the business of many American companies is flourishing in this very sector. There is hardly any sector in the country where American companies are not present. Of course, America's imposition of a 50 percent tariff on India will affect Indian exports, but if India decides to retaliate, then America will suffer losses worth billions.

There are many American companies doing business in India such as Agilent, Amazon, Adobe Systems Incorporated, American Express, Amway, Apple Inc., Coca Cola, PepsiCo India, Ford, Caterpillar, General Motors, Gillette, Google, Honeywell India, IBM, Agro Tech, Intel, JP Morgan, McDonald's, MetLife India, Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, Pizza Hut, KFC Oracle, Timex, Whirlpool etc. The list is quite long.

From technology to automobiles, banking and finance, there are no sectors where American companies are not present. Take the top 20 IT companies of India, and most of them are American. American companies are making huge profits by investing in India.

India is America's biggest trading partner

Trade between India and America also takes place on a very large scale. In the financial year 2024-25, a total of US $ 131.84 billion was traded between the two countries. During this period, India's exports to America were US $ 86.51 billion. At the same time, America sent goods worth $ 45.33 billion to India. This is not a recent thing, but India has been a major trading partner of America for many years. On the one hand, India buys petroleum products, aircraft parts, coal from America. At the same time, America also buys many products like pharmaceuticals, technology, gems and jewelry from India. That is, both are dependent on each other.

What if India retaliates?

Recently, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Ashok Kumar Mittal strongly criticized Trump's tariff policy. In an open letter to Trump, he said, "You have called India a 'dead economy', but this same 'dead economy' is the fourth largest economy of India. It will soon become the third. American companies are earning more than 80 billion dollars annually in the field of education, technology, finance and intellectual property."
