New Delhi: India’s exports to Mexico face a significant blow from January 1, 2026, as Mexico imposes steep tariffs of up to 50 percent on non-FTA partners.<\/p>\n
According to Kashmir Media Service, nearly 75 percent of India’s $5.75 billion shipments, including autos, smartphones, and steel, will face sharply higher duties, potentially pricing them out of the market. Pharmaceuticals remain largely unaffected.<\/p>\n
Mexico\u2019s steep tariff increase on imports from countries without a free-trade agreement will significantly disrupt India\u2019s exports from January 1, 2026, the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) has said, warning that nearly three-quarters of outbound shipments will come under sharply higher duties.<\/p>\n
Mexico has decided to impose duties of up to 50 percent on goods from non-FTA partners, a move that GTRI estimates will affect around 75 percent of India\u2019s $5.75 billion exports. \u201cNearly 75 percent of India\u2019s $5.75 billion exports to Mexico will be affected as tariffs jump from 0-15 percent to around 35 percent,\u201d the think-tank said.<\/p>\n
Under the revised structure, Mexico will levy tariffs ranging from 5% to 50%. Automobiles and auto components \u2014 India\u2019s largest export categories to Mexico \u2014 will be among the hardest hit. Passenger vehicles worth $938.35 million will see duties rise from 20 percent to 35 percent, while auto components worth $507.26 million will face an increase from 10-15 percent to 35 percent. Motorcycle exports of $390.25 million will also attract 35 percent duty. Smartphones, which currently enter duty-free, will face a 35 percent tariff, a move GTRI says will \u201ceffectively shut\u201d the Mexican market. Steel exports \u2014 particularly flat products \u2014 will confront a prohibitive 50 percent duty, likely pricing Indian shipments out entirely.<\/p>\n
Industrial machinery worth $547.99 million will see levies rise to 25-35 percent, substantially raising landed costs. Garments and made-ups worth $245.90 million will see duties rise from 20-25 percent to 35 percent, textiles from 10-15 percent to 25 percent, and ceramics to 25-35 percent, sharply eroding India\u2019s price competitiveness. Pharmaceuticals, however, will be \u201clargely unaffected,\u201d with duties moving only from 0-5 percent to 0-10 percent, keeping India\u2019s generics competitive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
