US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor says the India–United States trade arrangement is close to completion, with about 99% of the agreement already settled. Gor indicates that only limited “last-mile” work remains, centered on resolving final technical and legal issues through continued discussions. Multiple outlets report that negotiators are working on these outstanding points in New Delhi, with the finalisation process expected to extend across the coming weeks and, in some accounts, into the next few months. One report says USTR officials are expected to visit New Delhi next week as part of the process. The ambassador also frames the trade talks within a broader effort to deepen bilateral economic cooperation, pointing to collaboration in areas including artificial intelligence, critical minerals, and pharmaceuticals. While the sources align on the near-complete status of the deal and the expectation of signatures in the near term, they do not specify the exact provisions or timeline beyond the “weeks” and “months” characterizations. Overall, the reporting describes a negotiation phase focused on final details rather than a reopening of core terms.
