Merchandise trade indices base year revision updates weights, classifications and methodology to reflect current trade structure and improve comparability.
DGCI&S has revised the merchandise trade indices to base FY 2022-23 to reflect current trade composition, updating commodity baskets and month-specific weights based on base-year trade values. The revised series incorporates monthly, quarterly and annual Export/Import Unit Value and Quantity Indices, Principal Commodity, SITC and BEC classifications, bilateral and region-wise indices for top partners, and Gross, Net and Income Terms of Trade. Methodological refinements cover common commodity-basket selection, imputation of missing unit values and Laspeyres-type weighted averaging; comparability is meaningful mainly for same-month comparisons across years. Detailed methods and data will be published by DGCI&S.

Presidential tariff authority reversed, trade deal's tariff basis challenged; India-US agreement's viability questioned, prompting political backlash domestically.
Following a judicial curtailment of presidential power to impose global tariffs under emergency authority, the US administration invoked an alternative statute to impose a temporary import surcharge to preserve an existing India-US interim trade framework; this shift alters the tariff basis of the deal and raises questions about the surcharge's applicability to India and the deal's implications for market access, subsidy withdrawal, agricultural protections, energy security, and data safeguards.

Presidential tariff authority limited by court; administration seeks alternative statutory paths to maintain import duties, prolonging business uncertainty.
The Supreme Court ruled the president lacked authority under the emergency-powers framework to impose import tariffs, voiding tariffs imposed on that basis while leaving open the administration's use of other statutory authorities to impose duties; the decision narrows one executive route for tariffs but creates complex refund and recovery issues and leaves many existing tariffs under different authorities intact.

Separation of powers affirmed: Presidential global tariffs invalidated, reaffirming that only Congress may impose taxes.
A Supreme Court decision concluded that broad presidential global tariffs exceeded executive authority by encroaching on Congress's exclusive power over taxation; counsel for small businesses argued the levies operated as taxes imposed without congressional authorization, framing the dispute as a structural separation of powers issue and reaffirming that only Congress can impose taxes.

Invalidation of emergency tariff authority leaves collected import duties subject to refund and protracted litigation.
The Supreme Court held the International Emergency Economic Powers Act did not authorize presidential tariffs, leaving collected import duties unlawful but not prescribing a refund mechanism. Administration of refunds will likely involve the customs agency, specialised trade tribunals and lower courts, utilising or adapting existing duty correction procedures, and is expected to produce prolonged, multi jurisdictional litigation as importers seek recovery while consumers face evidentiary obstacles to claiming pass through losses.

Temporary import surcharge lowers reciprocal US tariff on Indian goods following legal limitation on presidential tariff powers
A presidential proclamation imposes a temporary import surcharge of ten per cent ad valorem, effective February 24, 2026, applied in addition to existing Most Favoured Nation duties; this replaces prior broader reciprocal levies on Indian goods, while higher sectoral tariffs for specified products remain and the surcharge applies only to a portion of exports due to coverage exemptions.

Policy repo rate unchanged; MPC retains neutral stance as inflation stays benign while growth outlook strengthens.
Under Section 45ZL the MPC's minutes record a unanimous decision to keep the policy repo rate unchanged and to retain the neutral stance after reviewing staff projections, surveys and alternative risk scenarios. The committee judged growth prospects to have strengthened while headline inflation remains benign though modestly revised upward for near quarters due mainly to precious metals; risks to the outlook are broadly balanced and policy will be guided by incoming data and the progress of transmission.

Constitutional limits on presidential tariff power overturned global tariffs, reshaping the interim India-US trade deal consequences.
The US Supreme Court invalidated the President's global tariffs imposed under emergency powers, finding tariff authority lies with Congress; the decision undercuts executive unilateral tariff measures. The India-US interim agreement saw an Executive Order lifting prior punitive tariffs in return for India's energy purchasing commitments, and a reduced reciprocal tariff rate was agreed. Indian political opposition alleges the deal's timing reflected executive haste that risked sovereign bargaining leverage and domestic agricultural interests.

The Supreme Court held that the President exceeded authority in imposing sweeping tariffs; in response the President signed a Proclamation imposing a temporary import duty to address international payments problems and rebalance trade relationships, effective on a specified date for a limited period. The President stated that an interim trade framework with India remains in place, removing certain punitive tariffs on India under an Executive Order while asserting India will assume tariff obligations under the bilateral arrangement.

Emergency powers tariffs invalidation prompts presidential denunciation of justices and raises separation of powers and institutional independence debate.
Six justices invalidated presidential global tariffs imposed under an asserted emergency powers statute, framing the central legal question as the permissible scope of executive authority to impose trade restrictions without clear congressional authorization, and the litigation tested statutory delegation, administrative action in the trade context, and judicial review of national-security framed economic measures.

Emergency power limits prompt alternative executive tariff action, raising concerns about agriculture costs and trade uncertainty.
The Supreme Court invalidated a presidential tariff framework as an unlawful exercise of emergency power, leading the president to announce use of alternative executive authority to impose a temporary global tariff. Stakeholders warned that further tariff actions or use of other authorities would increase agricultural input costs and create trade uncertainty, while business groups said ties with trade partners remain intact despite the disruption.

Presidential emergency powers curtailed as court invalidates broad tariffs imposed under IEEPA, overturning central global levies.
The Supreme Court found the President exceeded authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act by using IEEPA to impose broad tariffs, invalidating core IEEPA-based measures including the Liberation Day global tariff framework and subsequent trafficking and country-specific levies on Canada, Mexico, China, Brazil and India; sectoral and non-IEEPA tariffs remain in place while the executive considers alternative measures.

Executive emergency tariff authority limited, prompting administration to pursue alternative statutory bases for imposing tariffs.
The Supreme Court concluded that the Constitution vests the taxing power in Congress and that the emergency statute invoked by the Executive does not authorize imposition of tariffs as revenue measures, constraining executive emergency tariff authority; the administration plans to rely on alternative statutory bases to replace the invalidated tariffs.

Tariff policy remains central as the India trade arrangement continues despite judicial limits on tariff authority.
President Trump stated the bilateral trade arrangement with India remains in effect after the Supreme Court invalidated his broad tariffs, noting an Executive Order rescinded punitive tariffs on Indian oil imports from Russia and an Interim Agreement framework reduces reciprocal U.S. tariff treatment toward India while maintaining tariffs on Indian imports under the new terms; he framed tariffs as leverage for energy-sourcing commitments and de-escalation between India and Pakistan.

IEEPA authority rejected, limiting tariff powers while administration decries the decision and cites geopolitical effects.
The Supreme Court held that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize imposition of duties, constraining executive authority to impose tariffs under national emergencies; the President criticized the ruling and reiterated that tariffs were used as a foreign policy tool to end hostilities between India and Pakistan, a claim denied by India which attributes cessation to direct military talks.

Global tariff authority challenged after court invalidated emergency-use tariffs; president plans executive-order, time-limited alternative.
A judicial body invalidated a broad presidential program of global tariffs as an unlawful exercise of emergency power, eliminating the administration's primary emergency-based mechanism for imposing unilateral worldwide duties. The president announced intent to use an alternative statutory authority via executive order that would impose time-limited tariffs restricted to 150 days, signaling a shift to a different administrative vehicle for trade measures.
February 21, 2026
Show AI Summary
Emergency powers invalidation limits executive authority to impose unilateral tariffs, nullifying sweeping reciprocal import duties.
The executive's imposition of sweeping "reciprocal" import duties under a claimed emergency powers statute was found unlawful; the tariffs were invalidated because setting import duties required clear congressional authorization rather than unilateral emergency proclamations, signaling a legal limit on executive authority to alter statutory tariff schemes by emergency declaration.
February 21, 2026
Show AI Summary
Judicial review of emergency tariff powers restores congressional tariff authority, affecting recently announced India-US trade concessions.
The US Supreme Court struck down President Trump's global tariffs imposed under emergency powers, finding tariff authority lies with Congress, thereby removing the legal basis for those sweeping reciprocal tariffs. Indian opposition leaders contend that a recently announced India-US trade framework contained concessions extracted while the tariffs were assumed valid, and they seek clarity on whether those commitments-covering tariff eliminations, import targets, energy sourcing, and non tariff barrier commitments-will persist or be revisited following the judgment.
