Goyal asks exporters not to panic: 'India working out right mix of trade pact with US'

NEW DELHI: (Apr 9) Amid the ongoing global tariff war, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Wednesday asked exporters not to panic and assured them that India is working on the "right mix and right balance" in its proposed trade agreement with the US.

He also said the Indian team is working with "speed" but not in "undue haste" to ensure the right outcome for the country.

The two countries are negotiating a bilateral trade agreement (BTA) with an aim to more than double bilateral trade to USD 500 billion by 2023 from the present about USD 191 billion. They are aiming to conclude the first phase by the fall (September-October) this year.
