Piyush Goyal to Visit US on September 22 for Trade Talks
India’s Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal will lead a delegation to the United States on September 22, 2025, to advance bilateral trade discussions. The announcement was made by India’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry. These talks follow recent positive and “forward-looking” meetings between Indian and US trade officials.
Background and Key Issues
During recent rounds of negotiations held in New Delhi, officials from both sides addressed concerns over new US tariffs on Indian goods, including penalties related to India’s oil imports from Russia. India has also raised issues about restrictions in agriculture, dairy, and visa fee effects, which have added strain to trade relations.
What to Expect
Goyal’s delegation will likely seek to move forward on a mutually beneficial trade agreement, working to resolve contentious issues such as tariff rates, access for US goods, and trade in specific sectors. The Indian side has expressed desire to see clearer commitments from the US on easing trade barriers.
