The US-India Business Council called for intensified efforts by both nations to finalize a landmark trade agreement, describing it as historic.
New Delhi – The US-India Business Council (USIBC) has publicly urged the United States and India to step up negotiations on what it describes as a "historic" trade deal. In a statement released on Tuesday, the council highlighted the potential economic benefits for both economies and stressed that the momentum must not be lost.
USIBC officials said that the bilateral trade relationship, already robust, could reach new heights if a comprehensive agreement is concluded. They pointed to sectors such as technology, manufacturing, and services where deeper market access could drive growth and job creation.
The council called on policymakers in Washington and New Delhi to prioritize the trade talks, align regulatory frameworks, and address lingering issues that have slowed progress. While no specific timeline was given, USIBC emphasized that swift action is essential to capitalize on the current global economic climate.
Industry leaders and trade analysts have welcomed the call, noting that a finalized deal could enhance supply‑chain resilience and attract further investment. The USIBC pledged to continue its advocacy and support for a mutually beneficial partnership.
The statement marks a renewed push from the private sector to shape the next phase of US‑India economic cooperation, aiming to translate diplomatic goodwill into concrete commercial outcomes.
