India, US to start in-person sectoral trade talks in May
Hindustan Times Ranchi
|April 30, 2025
The commerce ministry said on Tuesday that India and the US are looking at "early mutual wins" indicating that the two may work towards an early harvest deal even before they finalize the first tranche of their proposed bilateral trade agreement (BTA).
NEW DELHI: People familiar with the matter said that India and the US will hold in-person sectoral trade engagements from the end of May.
An early deal will potentially avert additional US tariffs set to trigger on July 9, these people added, speaking of discussions after trade negotiators from India held crucial meetings last week.
"While productive sectoral expert-level engagements have taken place through the virtual format, in-person sectoral engagements are planned from end May," the ministry said in a statement, following the negotiating team's recent visit to Washington.
During the three-day meeting in Washington from April 23-25, trade representatives had "fruitful discussions on wide-ranging subjects covering tariff and non-tariff matters," the government said. The Indian delegation was led by chief negotiator Rajesh Agrawal.
