According to officials, the meetings with US government representatives were “constructive,” with both sides exchanging views on the structure and scope of a future trade deal.

Apart from government-level talks, the delegation also met with prominent US-based businesses and investors, who responded positively to India’s investment climate and growth trajectory.
