August 27, 2025 - Current affairs for all the Exams: India Faces US Tariffs Amidst Key Developments: New EV Launch and Vaishno Devi Landslide Tragedy
August 27, 2025
India is grappling with the imposition of additional 25% tariffs by the United States, bringing the total duty on Indian imports to 50% as of August 27, 2025. This move, primarily cited due to India's continued purchase of Russian oil, has prompted Prime Minister Narendra Modi to emphasize the nation's resilience against economic pressures. Despite the trade tensions, India saw the significant launch of Maruti Suzuki's first global electric vehicle, the e-Vitara, alongside a major investment announcement from Suzuki. Meanwhile, heavy rains have caused tragic landslides near the Vaishno Devi shrine in Jammu and Kashmir, resulting in fatalities and injuries.
