An interim trade deal between India and the United States is likely to be finalized by July 4–5, with negotiations currently underway in Washington.
The U.S. is pushing for greater market access to Indian agricultural and dairy sectors, while India is seeking tariff concessions on labor-intensive exports like garments and footwear.
Indian negotiators emphasize the need for broader tariff cuts to achieve the goal of doubling bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030.
An Indian delegation is in Washington to address key differences and secure a deal before the July 9 deadline for Trump's reciprocal tariffs.
