July 4, India proposed on Friday to impose retaliatory tariffs under World Trade Organization (WTO) rules against tariffs imposed by the United States on the automotive industry in the name of safeguard measures. A WTO notification circulated at Indias request said: "The proposed suspension of concessions or other obligations will increase tariffs on specific products originating in the United States." India has notified the WTOs Goods Council that it proposes to suspend concessions and other obligations under certain WTO provisions. "This notification is issued in response to the United States extending safeguard measures on auto parts imported from India," the statement said.
