With a population of over 1.4 billion, India is a large market for American consumer goods, which are often purchased through online retailer Amazon.com.
In his latest statement yesterday, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi once again urged the country's citizens to reduce their consumption of foreign goods and increase their use of domestically produced goods. He also called on shop owners to focus on "Made in India" products.
The Indian Prime Minister's appeals come amidst a turbulent period in relations between India and the US, stemming from the 50% US tariffs on Indian goods and, most recently, the increase in H1B visa fees – a type of visa widely used by Indian workers to live and work in the US. The new fee of up to $100,000 per new visa is expected to have multifaceted impacts on the Indian labor market and economy .
In recent weeks, many companies have stepped up their promotion of domestic goods. After US President Donald Trump imposed a 50% tariff on goods imported from India, Modi has repeatedly urged people to use “Swadeshi,” meaning goods made in India. His supporters have launched campaigns to boycott American brands, including McDonald's, Pepsi, and Apple – which are very popular in India.
With a population of over 1.4 billion, India is a huge market for American consumer goods, often purchased through online retailer Amazon.com. Over the years, the reach of American brands has expanded even to the smaller towns of the South Asian nation.
