“Export in August dropped to $ 6.86 billion”
Indian exports to the United States fell to $ 6.86 billion in August from $ 8.01 billion in July, and data on the Ministry of Commerce published on Monday.

The non -irrigation of the new Delhi with Washington coincided with increased contacts with Beijing. Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited China for the first time in the seven years of last month to participate in the summit organized by President Xi Jinping.
Modi was also seen holding hands with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Earlier American visit to Nový Delhi, planned for 25-29. August, it was canceled after the conversations hit the main roadblock. The new Delhi resisted Washington’s efforts to open its huge agricultural and dairy sectors.
But Sergio Gor, nominated for Trump for Ambassadors in India, said last week that both sides were not “so far apart” for tariffs and that the differences would be resolved in the next few weeks.
What to expect?
Officials consider today’s interviews to be open to save an agreement on free trade, which was questioned by tariffs that intervened on 27 August. India and the US have already led five rounds of interviews about the trade agreement and the sixth round scheduled in August was overcrowded.
Lynch oversees the development and implementation of US business policy regarding 15 countries in the region, including the Administration of Trade Policy forum in India (TPF) and coordination of activities under commercial and investment framework agreements (TIFA) with regional partners.
“We have said that there are also discussions in the past, the US main negotiator is visiting India tonight, and tomorrow will talk about what can be a picture. It is not a sixth round of negotiations, but it is definitely a discussion about business interviews and we are trying to see how we can achieve an agreement between India and the US.”
Proposed bilateral business agreement: Goyal
The Minister of Trade Trade and Industry PIYUSH Goyal 11 said September that trade negotiations between India and the United States on the proposed bilateral trade agreement (BTA) proceeds to the satisfaction of both countries, PTI said.
According to the Minister, Prime Minister Narendra Modi And US President Donald Trump commissioned both of his trade ministers in February and closed the first phase of the BTA “Fall of 2025” – November.
However, the negotiations were hit by a dead end because Washington was looking for a greater approach to the Indian agricultural and dairy markets that are red for the new Delhi.
“There’s not much progress”
“It is not a bike of negotiations. However, we will try to see how we can reach an agreement with the US. We spoke practically, but we have not made great progress because the environment was not favorable,” the Indian Express official said.
Trade Minister Sunil Barthwal said intelligence that there were discussions about diplomatic, business, main negotiator and ministerial level.
“Next steps will also be discussed. However, there is a positive frame of mind in both countries in terms of business issues,” Barthwal Express said.
The Provisional Trade Agreement in Autumn
Before today’s meeting in Nový Delhi, the White House’s consultant Peter Navarro said on Monday that India “comes to the negotiating table”. In recent weeks, Navarro has indulged in the Indian offensive and even accused the new Delhi of the Moscow War in Ukraine and called it Kreml’s “Laundromat”.
We have said that in the past the discussion is also going on … trying to see how we can achieve an agreement.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi welcomed the positive notes of US President Donald Trump last week about business interviews and expressed optimism that the ongoing negotiations would unlock the unlimited potential of their partnership.
