Delhi–Washington trade push eyes late-November milestone

Bilateral trade talks between India and the US are targeting late-November progress, linking export gains with India’s manufacturing push toward a higher GDP share.
India and the United States are advancing bilateral trade discussions that could reach a milestone by late November, according to policymakers tracking the agenda. Negotiators are focused on export growth, tariff frictions, and standards alignment to unlock investment and supply-chain diversification.
The initiative sits alongside India’s domestic manufacturing ambition to lift its GDP share from roughly 15–17% toward 25% over time. Progress could ease costs for select sectors and support medium-term FDI flows, though timelines depend on resolving sensitive market-access issues.
