India's Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has reiterated that India will not enter into any trade agreement based on deadlines, emphasizing that negotiations prioritize the nation's interests and mutual benefits. Speaking amid ongoing trade talks with the United States, Goyal stated that India will only accept a trade deal that is fully matured, properly concluded, and advantageous for both countries. He highlighted that India discusses trade deals on its own terms and will not sign any pact under time pressure, including the approaching July 9 deadline set by Washington related to U.S. tariffs. The minister also addressed criticism from opposition parties, asserting that India negotiates from a position of strength and will not compromise on national interests. Talks continue not only with the U.S. but also with the European Union, Oman, and other partners, focusing on fair and balanced agreements rather than meeting specific timelines.
