This comes after a high-level Indian delegation led by Union Commerce and Industries Minister Piyush Goyal visited the US from September 22 to 24, 2025, as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral trade and investment ties between the two countries.

Both sides exchanged views on possible contours of the deal and it was decided to continue the engagements with a view to achieve early conclusion of a mutually beneficial Trade Agreement,” the ministry said in a statement.

During the visit, the Minister held key meetings with Ambassador Jamieson Greer, United States Trade Representative and US Ambassador-designate to India, Sergio Gor. The discussions focused on advancing the India-US trade relationship, including potential contours of a new trade agreement.

“A delegation led by Commerce and Industries Minister visited the United States of America from 22-24th September 2025. The Minister had meetings with Ambassador Jamieson Greer, United States Trade Representative and Mr. Sergio Gor, U.S. Ambassador-designate to India. Apart from meetings with the U.S. Government representatives on bilateral trade matters, the delegation held discussions with key U.S.-based businesses and investors on promoting trade and investment between India and the United States,” the statement read.

The delegation also engaged with top US government officials and business leaders in a series of strategic meetings aimed at promoting trade, investment, and industrial cooperation. 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. The business leaders expressed strong confidence in India’s growth story and showed keen interest in expanding their footprint in the Indian market.

“The meetings with businesses and investors evoked positive response. The business leaders reposed confidence in the India growth story and expressed their desire to intensify their business activities in India,” the Ministry further said in the statement.
