India Asks Exporters to Flag US Market Access Woes
The Commerce Ministry asked exporters to flag US market access issues so officials can raise them with American counterparts. Exporters said order books are good but volumes have shrunk—US buyers are avoiding large, long-term orders because of tariff uncertainty. A meeting chaired by Additional Secretary Darpan Jain heard calls to conclude the India-US trade pact early. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal visits the US in late September.
