NEW DELHI: The US has told WTO that tariffs on automobiles and auto components are not safeguard measures and there is no basis for India to seek consultations on the matter. Earlier this month, India sought consultations with the US under the WTO safeguard agreement over American tariffs on auto and auto parts. However, the US said it is open to discuss the issues with India. On March 26, 2025, the US adopted a measure in form of a tariff increase of 25% ad valorem on imports of passenger vehicles and light trucks, and on some auto parts originating in or from India, a communication sent by India to the WTO has said.
