Trump administration imposes 126% duties on Indian solar imports. The US Commerce Department set preliminary tariffs on solar products from India, Indonesia, and Laos, citing unfair subsidies that undercut domestic manufacturers. India alone faces 126% duties, while Indonesia ranges from 86% to 143% and Laos at 81%. These countries supplied 57% of US solar module imports in the first half of 2025. The levies aim to protect American producers but risk increasing costs for consumers and creating market uncertainty. Indian solar imports surged to $792.6 million in 2024 from $87 million in 2022, prompting US manufacturers to file trade petitions alleging Chinese companies shifted production to Asia to circumvent existing tariffs. Analysts warn the high duties may effectively close the US market to Indian solar manufacturers.
