India, US to resume talks for bilateral trade agreement tomorrow

India will resume trade discussions with the US on 16 September. 

 U.S. negotiator Brendan Lynch is set to arrive in India tonight, The Economic Times reported.

The sixth round of talks on the bilateral trade agreement (BTA), originally scheduled to begin on August 25 in New Delhi, was postponed as U.S. negotiators pulled out amid escalating rhetoric from the Trump administration. The BTA aims to more than double bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030, up from the current $191 billion.

The development comes after after White House imposed a whopping 50% tariffs on India effective August 27.
