Amid escalating tensions between the US and India over trade tariffs, Mahindra Group CEO Anish Shah remains optimistic about a favorable outcome from ongoing negotiations. With President Trump ramping up threats of increased tariffs, Shah believes the Indian government will navigate these challenges wisely.

Shah emphasized that the current tariffs imposed by the US aren't as concerning for Mahindra as broader geopolitical issues affecting global trade. He cited the Indian government's track record of prioritizing national interests while negotiating international agreements, such as the recent India-UK FTA.

Despite Trump's portrayal of India as one of the world's most protectionist countries, Indian officials continue to engage in bilateral talks. The Indian government maintains its commitment to achieving a fair and balanced trade deal, while addressing concerns about India's oil imports from Russia amidst global political tensions.
