India Seeks US Tariff Edge Before Enacting Delayed Trade Pact

Summary
India is unlikely to implement its trade agreement with the US until it wins tariff terms that give it an advantage over rival exporting nations, according to comments cited by ANI from Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal.
That stance follows the two countries’ agreement on an initial framework, showing that key market-access and tariff issues remain unresolved despite progress toward a broader pact.
The delay highlights a gap between upbeat messaging from leaders in New Delhi and Washington and the tougher bargaining still underway before the deal can take effect.
