<h1>Opposition urges 75% retaliatory tariff on US imports, seeks reinstated 11% cotton duty and farmer supports</h1> An opposition party convener publicly urged the prime minister to impose a 75% retaliatory tariff on US imports after the US enacted a 50% tariff on Indian exports, challenging the central government's decision to extend an 11% duty exemption on raw cotton imports from the US until December 31, 2025. The convener argued the exemption harms domestic cotton producers and called for reinstating an 11% duty, setting a minimum support price and procurement for cotton, and providing subsidies for inputs. The statements frame the dispute as a trade-policy and agricultural-welfare issue, seeking stronger tariff reciprocity and domestic relief measures in response to US tariffs.
