Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has signalled a major tariff reset by the financial year 2027-28, the Economic Times reports in a paywalled story. The article's headline alone indicates a significant shift in India's trade policy framework, though no specific details were accessible to non-subscribers. The Economic Times website required a subscription for the full text, which was not available. The report did not mention which sectors or goods would be affected, nor the rationale behind the reset. Further official confirmation from the finance ministry is awaited.
