Scotch was available in India and until the FTA had an import duty of 150%

Therefore it's not an embargo is it.

And if it was meaningless why announce increase to 245

From 145.

245 is the total including existing tariffs from Trump's first term + tariffs imposed by Biden + whatever to date

So add 100 to whatever figure people are quoting because the figure quoted is only from tariffs imposed in this term subject to further negotiations

The figure comes from adding Trump’s second-term China tariffs of 145% to previously existing levies. In his first term, Trump put 25% tariffs on Chinese EVs, which President Joe Biden increased to 100% last year, when he also imposed a matching tariff on Chinese syringes.

The 245% total does not reflect any new tariffs, then, but just reflects existing maximum charges. The White House “just now decided to add up” the total tariffs, an official said. The vast majority of Chinese goods face lower import taxes—though they are all significantly higher than anything seen in previous decades.

So 245 - 115 is how much ?

Or to be more precise, it is 100 + x where x is whatever they reduced it to now
