On January 25, insider sources revealed that as per the trade agreement struck with the European Union, India will promptly slash the tariff on imported cars priced above €15,000. The maximum tariff will drop from 110% to 40% initially, followed by a phased-in reduction to 10%, contingent upon import quantity caps. In a bid to shield domestic investments, the import tariff reduction for electric vehicles will not commence until five years have elapsed.
