India May Escape US Tariff Bite as BTA Gets Ready
Mint Mumbai
|May 21, 2025
India may escape the US’ additional reciprocal tariff that was set to kick in on 9 July as both countries are currently discussing the fine print—having already resolved almost all tariff-related issues—so that they can announce a first tranche of a comprehensive bilateral trade agreement (BTA) by June-end, people aware of the matter said.
After several rounds of discussions, India and the US have arrived at a near-consensus on granting duty-free access to over 90% products from the respective countries for mutual gain, provided Washington accords preferential treatment to Indian merchandise by removing all non-tariff barriers, these people said, requesting anonymity due to the confidential nature of the ongoing talks.
