Addressing concerns over U.S. tariffs, MeitY Secretary S. Krishnan clarified that tariff-related matters span multiple sectors and are being addressed in a coordinated manner by the Commerce Ministry. He noted that while electronics tariffs are crucial for India, the country currently holds a relatively advantageous position in the electronics sector compared to nations facing new U.S. tariffs.

He emphasized the need for preparedness across scenarios as the situation evolves.
