India's business landscape saw a notable increase in GST revenue by 7.5% to Rs 1.96 lakh crore in July, driven by higher domestic inflows. However, the positive news was tempered by the US imposing a 25% tariff on Indian exports, affecting roughly half of the $86 billion worth of goods sent to America.
Fitch Ratings reduced India's economic growth projection to 6.3%, citing limited direct impact on Indian corporates from the US tariffs. Meanwhile, automotive sales displayed a mixed performance; Maruti Suzuki posted marginally higher dispatches, while Tata Motors and Hyundai experienced a sales drop.
Equity markets suffered due to global sell-off spurred by tariff anxieties, causing a 586-point drop in Sensex. The rupee experienced a rebound, gaining 47 paise against the US dollar, while aviation fuel prices rose 3%. In contrast, commercial LPG rates decreased by Rs 33.50, reflecting global price shifts.
