Indian exporters are facing pressure from US buyers demanding discounts of 15-20% as a result of increased tariffs. This has led to delays in orders for smaller exporters, particularly in the clothing and gems sectors, where higher tariffs have created uncertainty. While large retailers are holding steady, smaller exporters are feeling the impact of the demands for discounts. Despite these challenges, Indian suppliers continue to be crucial partners for global retailers who are adapting their strategies in response to the changing market conditions.
