| Abstract | Abstract
Global trade wars, marked by rising tariffs, non-tariff barriers, and protectionist policies among major
economies, have become a serious challenge to the global trading system. Trade conflicts such as the United
States–China trade war have disrupted global supply chains, affected trade flows, and increased uncertainty in
international markets. This paper analyses the concept of global trade wars and examines their impact on the
Indian economy. It discusses the effects on India’s exports, imports, manufacturing, services, agriculture,
foreign direct investment, employment, and financial markets. While trade wars create challenges in the form
of reduced global demand, market volatility, and pressure on domestic industries, they also provide opportunities
for India to diversify exports, attract investment, and strengthen its role in global value chains. The paper
concludes that with appropriate policy measures, structural reforms, and a balanced trade strategy, India can
reduce the negative impact of trade wars and convert global trade disruptions into long-term economic
advantages.
