India to Finalise US Trade Deal After Securing Preferential Tariff Terms, Says Goyal
India will finalise its Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) with the United States once Washington offers preferential tariff terms that give Indian exporters an advantage over competing countries, Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said. India has secured beneficial terms in existing free trade agreements covering nearly two-thirds of global trade and aims to expand access to 75% of global trade through upcoming deals. The government emphasizes protecting sensitive sectors and maximizing export opportunities across industries and regions.
