The India–US trade deal has included tariff relief on Indian exports, which industry executives said improved the competitiveness of Indian solar products in the US market. Solar manufacturers has stated that the reduction of US tariffs from 25% to 18% lowered landed costs for Indian-made solar cells and modules and improved project economics for US developers. Industry leaders said that this change supported higher demand visibility for Indian solar exports and reduced pricing uncertainty for long-term supply contracts. The tariff cut was described as strengthening the position of Indian manufacturers amid concerns over tariff circumvention by other suppliers. The agreement followed several months of bilateral trade negotiations and was seen by the solar industry as a policy shift that affected export access and pricing conditions rather than a routine adjustment.
