  • Hello and welcome to World Business Report from the BBC World Service.

  • I am Bissi Adibaya.

  • Coming up, Indian exporters are now facing 50% tariffs on goods going into the US.

  • How much pressure will that put on businesses and jobs?

  • We'll hear from some of those caught in the crossfire.

  • Also,

  • Europe's car makers are warning strict green targets could cost jobs unless the rules are eased.

  • And in the US,

  • Cracker Barrel has restored its famous old-timer logo after customers rejected a redesign.

  • Well, let's get started, by the way.

  • And from today, Indian exporters face 50% tariffs on most goods going to the United States.

  • Washington says it's punishment for New Delhi's continued purchases of Russian oil,

  • arguing that money helps fund Moscow's war in Ukraine.

  • While pharma and electronics items are not included, a large share of India's exports will be hit.

  • I've been speaking to my colleague Davina Gupta in Delhi.

  • It's been a difficult day for Indian exporters

  • because we are talking about nearly two-third of Indian exports,

  • which experts say is around $55 billion worth, which will be hit with these 50% tariffs.

  • These are harshest ever tariffs that these businesses have seen

  • because America remains a lucrative market for them.
