The US has also taxed other key exporters of Chemicals to the US, such as China (34%), the European Union (20%), Japan (24%) and South Korea (25%). This leaves India either better placed or on an equal footing compared to other chemical exporting countries.
Shares of Indian Chemical companies, SRF Ltd., Navin Fluorine Ltd., Galaxy Surfactants Ltd. and PCBL, will be in focus on Thursday, April 3, after US President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariff announcements.
Trump announced in the early hours of Thursday, Indian time, that the US has implemented a 26% reciprocal tariff on India across products, barring sectors like Pharma.
The tariff is significantly higher for chemical companies as the existing import rate was only 3.5%.
However, the US has also taxed other key exporters of Chemicals to the US, such as China (34%), the European Union (20%), Japan (24%) and South Korea (25%). This leaves India either better placed or on an equal footing compared to other chemical exporting countries.

Shares of Navin Fluorine ended 1.2% higher on Wednesday and have risen 30% so far in 2025.
