India has signalled its intent to purchase $500 billion of US goods over the next five years under an interim trade agreement framework aimed at deepening economic and strategic cooperation. According to a joint statement, planned imports include energy products, aircraft and aircraft parts, precious metals, coking coal and advanced technology products.
Both sides agreed to expand trade in technology goods, notably graphics processing units (GPUs) and data‑centre equipment, alongside enhanced joint technology cooperation. The framework emphasizes economic security alignment, supply‑chain resilience and innovation, with cooperation envisaged on investment screening, export controls and addressing non‑market practices of third countries.
India and the US also committed to developing robust digital trade rules under a proposed Bilateral Trade Agreement, while working to remove discriminatory or burdensome practices affecting bilateral digital trade. Officials said the agreement reflects a shared effort to align economic and strategic priorities and to strengthen long‑term cooperation in critical and emerging sectors.
