High-stakes trade discussions between India and the United States are scheduled to kick off in New Delhi on December 10th. These critical talks are designed to accelerate progress on the Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) framework. Although the initial plan was to conclude the first phase of the agreement by autumn 2025, evolving US trade policies and tariff measures have necessitated adjustments. Sources close to the matter report that negotiators are optimistic about resolving key issues within the current calendar year, citing encouraging developments in the ongoing dialogues. The strategic BTA, first proposed following high-level directives, aims to more than double bilateral trade, projecting a jump from $191 billion to an ambitious $500 billion by 2030. This initiative was initially announced during the Indian Prime Minister’s recent visit to the US.
