Canada’s move to impose 100% tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) and a 25% surtax on Chinese steel and aluminum aims to protect its domestic industries and address broader trade issues. By implementing these tariffs, Canada seeks to shield its auto manufacturers from perceived unfair competition due to Chinese state subsidies and overproduction. This move could disrupt global supply chains, affecting industries dependent on these materials and potentially leading to higher costs and production adjustments worldwide. For Indian EV manufacturers, this creates new opportunities to enter the Canadian market, benefiting from reduced competition if they meet Canadian standards. Additionally, if Canadian tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum cause a global shortage, India might see increased demand for its exports, potentially gaining from higher prices and a larger market share. Additionally, as Western countries implement protective measures, India has the opportunity to enhance its trade relations with China, positioning itself as a key partner in sectors such as EV components and technology, potentially at a competitive cost.
