Union Minister Piyush Goyal confirms first tranche of India-US trade deal will come soon
On India-US trade talks, Union Minister of Commerce & Industry Piyush Goyal says, "We had excellent discussions from 2nd to 4th of this month. We had a full team of officials from different divisions of trade from USA in Delhi. I also met with them yesterday and we are fast moving towards closing all the open ends. By sometime by the middle of next month or so, we should be in a position to execute a very vibrant first tranche. It is only the first tranche of our bilateral trade agreement which will give preferential access to India over our competitors. I expect an even higher level delegation to be coming to India probably towards the end of this month"
