India and Mexico to Begin Preferential Trade Agreement Negotiations
India and Mexico are set to formally launch negotiations for a preferential trade agreement (PTA) this week, with the signing of the Terms of Reference during Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agrawal's visit to Mexico City. The PTA aims to reduce tariffs on key Indian exports such as automobiles, textiles, and steel, shielding them from Mexico's recent high import duties. Both countries seek an early harvest agreement to expedite tariff reductions on less sensitive goods, while broader trade talks with other nations continue.
