Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal says India will persist with U.S. trade negotiations, even as tariffs have risen to 50%. He sees the move as temporary, likening it to past tensions that eventually subsided. At home, Goyal highlights the upcoming GST reforms—effective from 22 September—as a key catalyst for demand, investment, and job creation, validated by a 15-year high in services PMI. He also signals a diplomatic thaw with China, returning bilateral relations to pre-Galwan levels. Through a mix of trade diplomacy and economic stimulus, India aims to chart a path of stability and growth.
