An interim trade deal between India and the United States is likely to be operational in April, Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal said on Friday.
A three-day meeting between Indian and American officials to finalise the legal text for an interim trade agreement will begin in the US on February 23, news agency PTI reported.
Earlier this month, India and the US released a joint statement to announce that a framework for an interim trade agreement has been finalised.
Piyush Goyal also said that India’s free trade agreements (FTAs) with the UK and Oman are likely to be implemented in April.
With New Zealand, the pact is expected to be implemented in September.
