The evolving global trade landscape, marked by America’s recent tariff policies, presents both opportunities and challenges for emerging economies like India. This paper examines the impact of the U.S. tariff war on India’s trade prospects and its alignment with the Viksit Bharat vision of economic growth, self-reliance, and global competitiveness. By analyzing shifts in export-import patterns, sectoral advantages, and strategic policy responses, the study identifies avenues for India to leverage new markets, enhance domestic manufacturing, and strengthen international trade partnerships. Simultaneously, it highlights challenges such as trade diversion, market uncertainties, and the need for adaptive policy frameworks. The findings offer actionable insights for policy- makers, businesses, and trade strategists seeking to navigate the emerging world trade order effectively.
