What does the India–US interim trade deal actually say on paper? The White House’s deal framework key points cover tariffs, market access, technology and economic security. The framework sets an 18 percent US tariff on Indian goods, promises potential rollbacks on key exports and opens doors in aviation, autos and pharmaceuticals. It also outlines India’s commitments on standards, non-tariff barriers and large purchases of US goods. At the same time, the deal includes safeguards like rules of origin and flexibility clauses to protect national interests. From India’s perspective, the statement reveals both opportunity and negotiation as New Delhi positions itself as a trusted global manufacturing and trade partner.
