The primary concern is the impact on Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), Tata Motors&#8217; UK-based luxury car subsidiary, which has significant exposure to the US market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JLR sold over 4 lakh vehicles globally in FY24, with 23% of sales coming from the US alone. Analysts believe the tariffs could hit revenue and profitability in the near term, forcing JLR to increase prices and cut costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Auto Ancillaries Also Affected<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Nifty Auto Index fell nearly 1%, with component makers like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sona BLW Precision Forgings down over 1%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bharat Forge and Samvardhana Motherson (SAMIL) declining up to 3%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Trump\u2019s Justification for Tariffs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a press briefing, Trump defended the tariffs, citing unfair trade practices by foreign countries.
