The measures include a set of norms for imports, including the strict enforcement of Quality Control Order for Chinese goods. The central government has also formed an inter-ministerial group to oversee the issue and take quick actions whenever required. Trump on April 9 announced a 90-day pause on higher tariffs for over 75 countries, sending global markets into a celebration mode.

This could potentially allow Indian manufacturers to increase their profits by 2-3%, according to television, refrigerator and smartphone producers. Indian companies might transfer some cost benefits to customers to enhance s...
