Indian Delegation To Reach Washington Tomorrow For 3-Day Talks On Trade Pact
An Indian delegation is heading to Washington for three-day talks with US authorities on the first phase of a bilateral trade agreement. The talks will focus on recalibrating the agreement due to changes in the US tariff landscape.
An Indian delegation led by Darpan Jain, additional secretary in the department of commerce, will meet US authorities in Washington from April 20-22 to discuss the first phase of a bilateral trade agreement. The talks will focus on recalibrating the agreement due to changes in the US tariff landscape, including a 10% tariff imposed on all countries for 150 days. The US had agreed to reduce tariffs on India to 18% from 50% under the pact. India proposed eliminating or reducing tariffs on US industrial goods and agricultural products. The agreement requires recalibration due to the uniform 10% tariff on all US trading partners. India's trade surplus with the US declined to $34.4 billion in 2025-26 from $40.89 billion in 2024-25.
