|February 05, 2026
The trade agreement with the US will help India position itself more strongly globally, as the country needs to expand capabilities across a range of sectors, including energy, aviation, data centres, critical minerals, and nuclear energy, commerce minister Piyush Goyal said.
In a statement in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, Goyal said the US is a global leader in many of these areas, and engagement with Washington wouldn’t only help India meet its procurement needs but also create fresh opportunities for Indian exports.
