The U.S. Tariff War: Implications for India’s Paper Industry, Demand, Pricing, and Import Inflows

The article examines the impact of the U.S. tariff war on India's paper industry. With a 26% tariff on Indian paper exports to the U.S., Indian paper mills are expected to face declining competitiveness, leading to reduced orders, especially for mid-sized and smaller mills reliant on foreign markets. The domestic market may experience oversupply, potentially lowering paper prices and increasing competition. The tariff war could also benefit Indian mills in the short term by lowering global pulp prices. However, it will also drive mills to diversify export markets, explore domestic pulp sources, and enhance recycling infrastructure. Despite challenges, the shift presents an opportunity for India’s paper industry to become more self-reliant and resilient in the long term.
