"They are trying to see if we can have a win-win solution between the two sides - Government Source"

New Delhi, October 15

India and the United States are engaged in trade negotiations aimed at reaching a mutually beneficial outcome, government sources said on Wednesday.

An Indian negotiating team is currently in the US for discussions, with talks said to be in a "deeper" phase. "

"The engagement between two sides is going on. Ambassador-designate (Sergio Gor) was in India. He met all stakeholders and had good meetings. Negotiating team from India is in the US. They are trying to see if we can have a win-win solution between the two sides," a government source said.

Earlier, sources told ANI that the upcoming talks are expected to focus on key market access issues, regulatory cooperation, and expanding trade in energy and technology sectors.

India is also looking at scaling up imports of natural gas and renewable energy technologies from the United States as part of the evolving trade relationship.

The talks for Bilateral Trade Agreement were formally launched in February following directives from leaders of both countries.

The two countries aim to more than double trade volumes from the current USD 191 billion to USD 500 billion by 2030.

Officials had initially targeted completion of the first phase by fall 2025, with five rounds of negotiations already held.

Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal had stated earlier this month that the government is in contact with the United States at various levels regarding the proposed Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA).

Good to see India negotiating from a position of strength. The renewable energy tech imports could really boost our green energy goals. Make in India should remain the priority though!

As someone working in the tech sector, I hope this agreement includes better visa policies for Indian professionals. The current H-1B situation is quite challenging for many of us.

Natural gas imports from US could help reduce our energy costs significantly. But we must ensure our farmers' interests are protected in any agricultural trade discussions. Jai Kisan! 🇮🇳

While the $500 billion target is ambitious, I hope the government ensures this doesn't lead to dumping of American goods that could hurt our small industries. Strategic partnership should benefit both sides equally.

Five rounds of negotiations already completed shows serious commitment from both sides. Hope our pharmaceutical and IT sectors get better market access in the US. This could be a game-changer for our economy! 💫
