** India's Raymond Lifestyle RAYL.NS falls 1.45% to 1186 rupees after second quarter results
** Co reports 8% y/y rise in revenue but a 4% decline in profit before tax and exceptional items due to steep U.S. tariffs on Indian exports
** EBITDA margin at 13.9% remains flat y/y
** Co says, growth in domestic consumption was partly offset by "considerable headwinds" in exports due to U.S. tariffs
** Adds, tariffs led to order deferral and margin pressure from key overseas buyers, though a rebound in domestic consumption cushioned the impact
** YTD, RAYL shares are down ~43.5%
