<h1>India's Engineering Goods Exports to US Surge by 18% in January 2025 Amid Global Trade Challenges</h1> India's engineering goods exports to the US increased by 18% year-on-year in January 2025, reaching USD 1.62 billion, despite overall engineering shipments growing at 7.44%. This growth coincides with the US President's announcement of reciprocal tariffs on countries imposing levies on American goods, effective April 2. During the April-January period, exports to the US rose nearly 9% to USD 15.60 billion. Exports to the UAE also grew significantly. However, global trade protectionism poses challenges, with over 3,000 trade restrictions implemented in 2024. The engineering sector's growth was driven by various products, though some areas like ships and iron and steel saw declines.
