<h1>Government announces measures to boost exports and domestic demand, shield industry from 50% foreign tariffs and diversify markets</h1> The government announced imminent measures to boost exports and domestic consumption and pledged legal and policy support to shield industry from adverse effects of unilateral foreign tariffs, recently raised to 50% on certain imports. It urged exporters to identify affected labor-intensive sectors and pursue alternative markets, with trade missions to facilitate diversification. Regulatory steps, including proposals at the upcoming GST council meeting, aim to provide rapid demand stimulus for manufacturing. The state remains in consultation with stakeholders and diplomatic missions to expand market access and offer sector-specific support to mitigate trade disruptions and sustain export targets.
