As India’s trade negotiations with the United States gain momentum, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal is expected to visit Washington in the coming days to advance discussions on a proposed Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA), according to sources.
The visit follows daylong talks held recently in New Delhi between US Chief Trade Negotiator Brendan Lynch and India’s Deputy Chief Negotiator Rajesh Agrawal. Both sides described the discussions as positive and constructive, with an agreement to accelerate efforts towards an early and mutually beneficial conclusion to the trade deal.

On September 16, the Ministry of Commerce issued a statement confirming that both delegations had agreed to intensify efforts to conclude the agreement swiftly. The meeting marked the fifth round of negotiations since both countries committed to pursuing a trade deal in February 2025.
“It was decided to intensify efforts to achieve early conclusion of a mutually beneficial trade agreement,” the ministry said in a statement after a seven-hour meeting with US officials.
