India, US push to finalise interim tariff deal as Trump's deadline nears
- This week in New Delhi, India and the U.S. Are engaged in high-level discussions to finalize tariff reductions on farming and vehicle sectors within a provisional agreement.
- These talks build on a February agreement to pursue a phased arrangement that aims to increase bilateral trade with the goal of reaching $500 billion by 2030, with President Trump setting a target deadline of July 9.
- The talks involve two days of closed-door meetings led by senior U.S. Trade officials and Indian chief negotiator Rajesh Agrawal, focusing on tariff reductions and benefits for Indian companies.
- U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced on Monday that discussions are making headway, with both parties aiming to lower average tariffs to around 10%, which aligns with typical U.S. Rates, and implement minimal duties within set limits to enhance market access and supply chain connections.
- An announcement on the interim deal is expected later this month, potentially advancing a comprehensive bilateral trade agreement to improve market access and supply chain integration.
