The governments of India and the United States are currently finishing a trade agreement intended to improve economic cooperation and increase business exchange between the two nations.

印度與美國政府目前正在完成一份貿易協定，旨在改善經濟合作並增加兩國間的商業交流。

Recent diplomatic efforts have included several high-level meetings, such as the visit of US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer to New Delhi in June. These discussions have confirmed that both countries are committed to a balanced deal that provides real benefits across various economic sectors. Although some reports suggested that negotiations had stopped because India was hesitant to move forward, officials from both countries have denied these claims. US Ambassador Sergio Gor and Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal emphasized that the talks are still productive and active.

最近的外交努力包括多次高層會議，例如美國貿易代表 Jamieson Greer 於六月訪問新德里。這些討論確認了兩國都致力於達成一份平衡的協議，為各個經濟部門提供實質利益。儘管有報導指出由於印度猶豫不決導致談判停滯，但兩國官員均否認了這些說法。美國大使 Sergio Gor 與印度商務部長 Piyush Goyal 強調，談判仍然高效且積極地進行中。

Regarding the structure of the deal, Commerce Secretary Rajesh Agarwal stated that the general framework is complete. The current focus is on the specific details of the agreement to ensure both sides benefit. The deal is expected to lead to significant tax reductions; for example, some Indian tariffs could drop from 50 percent to 18 percent. Additionally, there will be zero taxes on exports like generic medicines, aircraft parts, and jewelry. Furthermore, the 'Mission $500 billion' project, started in February 2026, aims to increase bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030 by increasing India's purchase of American energy and technology.

關於協議的結構，商務秘書 Rajesh Agarwal 表示總體框架已完成。目前的重點在於協定的具體細節，以確保雙方互惠。該協議預計將帶來顯著的減稅；例如，部分印度關稅可能會從 50% 降至 18%。此外，通用藥品、飛機零件及珠寶等出口產品將實施零關稅。此外，於 2026 年 2 月啟動的「5000 億美元任務」計劃，目標是透過增加印度採購美國能源與技術，在 2030 年前將雙邊貿易額提升至 5000 億美元。

Despite this general optimism, some technical problems still exist. Specifically, the resolution of USTR Section 301 investigations remains a difficult point. Joint Secretary Brij Mohan Mishra has officially submitted India's objections to the USTR's findings and has requested that a proposed 12.5 percent tariff be reconsidered.

儘管整體氛圍樂觀，但仍存在一些技術問題。具體而言，USTR 301 條款調查的解決方案仍是一個難點。聯合秘書 Brij Mohan Mishra 已正式向 USTR 提交印度對調查結果的反對意見，並要求重新考慮擬議中 12.5% 的關稅。

Trade negotiations are now in their final stages, and both countries expect to formally sign the agreement by autumn.

貿易談判目前已進入最後階段，兩國預計將在秋季正式簽署協定。
