'India won't negotiate based on timelines': Goyal on India-US trade deal ahead of July 9 deadline
Earlier, sources had said that the India-US trade deal will conclude in the next few days as an Indian delegation has returned from Washington after holding high-level talks with officials from the Trump administration read more Union Minister of Commerce and Trade Piyush Goyal has asserted that India will not sign a trade deal based on a timeline, but set its own terms to negotiate an agreement. His comments came ahead of July 9, when the pause on retaliatory tariffs will expire. Earlier, sources had told News18 that the India-US trade deal will conclude in the next few days as an Indian delegation has returned from Washington after holding high-level talks with officials from the Trump administration. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Whether it is the European Union, New Zealand, Oman, the United States, Chile, or Peru, negotiations for agreements are underway with many countries. A free trade agreement happens only when there is mutual benefit," the minister said When the deal is made while safeguarding India's interests, keeping in mind that national interest will always remain paramount, then India is always ready to make deals with developed countries… India never makes a trade deal based on a timeline; when the deal is good, fully matured, and in the national interest, then we accept it," Goyal added.

‘Open defiance of courts': Lawyer who fought for a decade to get old vehicles banned on Delhi govt's U-turn
In 2014, Delhi-based lawyer Vardhaman Kaushik moved the National Green Tribunal (NGT) over the Capital's choking air pollution crisis. A decade and orders from the NGT and Supreme Court later, a no-fuel ban on end-of-life petrol and diesel vehicles has barely lasted three days. On Thursday, in a letter to the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) — the overarching statutory body for matters concerning air pollution — Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa had said that it would not be feasible to enforce the ban 'at this juncture', and 'immediate implementation… may be premature and potentially counter-productive'. The ban came into effect on July 1. The Delhi government's move has drawn sharp criticism from several quarters. According to Kaushik, the 'poor implementation' of the ban order is 'an open defiance of courts'. 'The (Supreme Court) judgment (on fuel ban) had come in long ago, in 2018… and it has not been executed,' Kaushik told The Indian Express. 'The fuel ban was only a way to implement the court's directions. The hue and cry over this now doesn't make sense.' 'This is not a new rule. These rules for end-of-life vehicles have been there for a long time. The judgment is not being taken seriously,' Kaushik said, adding that only a few vehicles have been impounded over the years. Kaushik dismissed the argument that the ban unfairly targets the middle class. 'People who can afford cars and sit in air-conditioned rooms are cribbing at not being able to sell their car at good rates… Their opinion should not matter,' he said. 'The larger population that cannot afford cars bears the brunt of air pollution.' He insisted that emissions, not the age of the vehicles, should be the focus. However, he underscored that age remains a legitimate proxy. 'Even if an age cap is put aside as suggested by the Environment Minister, the fact remains that a (Bharat Standard) BS III or a BS IV vehicle will always be far more polluting than a BS VI vehicle. The government needs to take a call at this juncture.' In April 2015, acting on Kaushik's plea, the NGT had laid the legal foundation for phasing out old vehicles from the Capital's roads. In 2018, the Supreme Court banned diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years in Delhi. The legal backing for the ban was reinforced by the 2018 SC order, which had upheld the NGT order. 'The Transport Departments of NCR will immediately announce that all diesel vehicles more than 10 years old and petrol vehicles more than 15 years old shall not ply in NCR in terms of the order of the National Green Tribunal…,' the order had said. It also mandated the impounding of violators and directed that lists of such vehicles be published on the websites of the Central Pollution Control Board and respective transport departments. Following the CAQM's April order on enforcing a fuel ban, a phased rollout was planned, first in Delhi from July 1, then expanded to the districts of Faridabad, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Gautam Buddha Nagar, and Sonipat in November. The plan was to expand the ban to the rest of the NCR from April 1, 2026.

The India-US trade deal is on Trump's desk. Will he sign?
The first tranche of the India-US Bilateral Trade Agreement (BTA) is now awaiting US President Donald Trump's final approval, after being greenlit by US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, three people directly involved in the process told Mint on the condition of anonymity. The key sticking points remain the same as reported by Mint on 11 June. 'The final stretch of India-US trade talks has centred around sensitive sectors such as dairy, agriculture, digital, genetically modified (GM) seeds and medical services, with Washington pushing for greater access while New Delhi is seeking a balanced agreement that safeguards its vital sectors," said the first of the three people cited above. With the US pause on reciprocal tariffs set to end on 9 July and the Trump administration shifting its stance from mutual tariff reduction to seeking greater market access, Indian negotiators are burning the midnight oil to secure a 'respectable deal," the person added. The Indian team extended its stay in Washington beyond the originally scheduled two-day visit that ended on 27 June, in a final effort to resolve differences, particularly over agriculture, and to conclude negotiations for an interim trade agreement. According to the second person, the US has proposed two alternative options for tariff reduction in case White House does not 'fully agree" with the terms finalized by Indian negotiators and their American counterparts. 'If India agrees to US demands for greater market access in agricultural goods, dairy and seeds, then Indian goods may face only a 10% additional tariff—which, while not ideal, is still much lower than what other countries in the Asian region are facing," said the second person. 'And in case India does not agree, it could face a 20% tariff—comprising the existing 10% baseline duty and a 10% reciprocal tariff carved out of the 16% additional duty imposed on 2 April as part of the US's Liberation Day action," the person added. In that scenario, India would still gain a 6% relief. The recently concluded in-person round of talks is seen as critical, especially since the US has already finalized trade deals with China, Vietnam and the UK. Although talks with China began after India's, they progressed more quickly and helped ease bilateral tensions. Indian negotiators are seeking the elimination of reciprocal tariffs and additional duties such as those on steel, aluminium, and auto components—along with assurances that no future tariffs will be imposed. 'Indian negotiators did their best to convince their US counterparts about the domestic sensitivities involved in these sectors. To some extent, the USTR has agreed to India's position on not fully opening up the agriculture sector. Now, it's up to the US President to take the final call," said the third person aware of the discussions. However, this person expressed confidence that the deal is on track and likely to be announced by Trump before 8 July in the US. The pact is likely to follow the US model adopted in its agreements with the UK and, more recently, with Vietnam, according to trade experts. 'Nothing would be better than the US removing the 10% baseline duty from Indian goods, but India should not open its critical sectors just to get that 10% duty removed," said Ajay Srivastava, co-founder of the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI), a think tank. 'India should aggressively plan to diversify its exports to other countries and minimise its dependency on the US. There may be a knee-jerk impact in the initial stage, but in the long run, it will help build resilience and strengthen India's global trade position," he added. In its trade deal with the UK, the US did not remove the 10% baseline duty that applies to all countries. In Vietnam's case, the total tariff was lowered from 46% to 20%, including the 10% baseline duty imposed under the Trump administration's reciprocal tariff framework. The US-Vietnam deal also introduced a 40% tariff on transhipments through Vietnam, aimed at curbing Chinese goods being routed to the US using Vietnamese facilities. 'Trade agreements aim to eliminate trade barriers and to set rules that support high-standard, seamless trade that creates certainty for businesses. To that definition, none will be done with the US by 9 July. At best, there may be frameworks for future negotiations. There are too many issues to resolve with too many parties," said Steven Okun, CEO, APAC Advisors, a Singapore-based consultancy firm. As of now, tariffs on Indian exports to the US (26%) are lower compared to those on Vietnam (46%), Cambodia (49%), Bangladesh (37%) and Thailand (36%), offering India a strategic tariff advantage in sectors such as electronics, apparel, and toys. In the case of China, tariffs on Chinese goods had previously surged as high as 145%, but following a truce in Geneva, they were brought down to 30%. Under the new agreement, however, these have now been restructured into a flat 55% rate—significantly higher than the tariff levels currently applied to Indian goods. Queries sent to the Indian commerce ministry, spokespersons of the USTR, and the US Embassy in New Delhi remained unanswered till press time. In the meantime, Indian exporters have been benefiting from steeper US tariffs on Chinese goods, which gave Indian products a competitive edge. China's exports to the US plummeted 34.5% year-on-year to $28.8 billion in May from $44 billion a year earlier, according to data released by China's General Administration of Customs on 10 June. This, however, was offset by China's rising exports to members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (up 15% year-on-year to $58.4 billion in May), and the European Union (up 12% to $49.5 billion According to data released by India's commerce ministry on 16 June, India's imports from China rose 21.7% to $10.32 billion in May from $8.48 billion a year earlier, driven by higher inflows of electronic goods, machinery, chemicals, and project-related equipment. Meanwhile, India's imports from the US declined to $3.63 billion in May from $3.85 billion a year ago, while exports to the country grew 17.3% year-on-year to $8.8 billion, led by higher shipments of smartphones and electronics. According to commerce ministry data, Indian goods exports to the US in the last financial year (FY25) increased by 11.6%, from $77.52 billion in FY24 to $86.51 billion in FY25. Imports from the US also rose, but by a smaller margin of 7.42%, increasing from $42.20 billion to $45.33 billion during the fiscal year that ended on 31 March. Meanwhile, imports of goods from China rose by 11.5%, from $101.74 billion in FY24 to $113.46 billion in FY25, while exports to China decreased by 14.5%, from $16.67 billion in FY24 to $14.25 billion in FY25, the data showed.
