India may cut import taxes if desi companies are not hurt, FM Sitharaman says

India's Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, hinted at the possibility of reducing import taxes, contingent upon the absence of harm to domestic industries. This comes in the wake of US President Donald Trump's criticism of India's high tariff rates. While acknowledging the need to protect Indian businesses, Sitharaman emphasized the government's willingness to adjust tariffs to foster international trade.
