Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the NDA Parliamentary Party meeting amid loud applause and a warm welcome, as alliance MPs felicitated him for what they described as a decisive diplomatic success on the global stage. The meeting took place against the backdrop of the India–US trade understanding, under which American tariffs on Indian goods have been reduced sharply from 50 percent to 18 percent. During the meeting, leaders credited the Prime Minister’s policy resolve and strategic patience for compelling the United States to reconsider its tariff position. NDA MPs said India’s calm yet firm approach ensured that national interests were protected despite sustained global pressure and provocative statements during negotiations. According to sources, the Prime Minister is expected to underline how policy consistency and economic confidence strengthened India’s bargaining power. The trade agreement is being viewed as a game-changing development for Indian industries, exporters, and the broader economy. MPs highlighted that India neither rushed negotiations nor compromised on key concerns, opting instead for steady diplomacy. The developments come ahead of high-level follow-up talks between Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, where finer details of the trade agreement are expected to be discussed. The NDA meeting reflected political unity and growing confidence in India’s global economic positioning following the tariff rollback.
