India-US Trade Deal Sealed: Tariffs Slashed to 18%
India and the United States have sealed a major trade agreement, ending a year-long tariff standoff.

The pact is expected to boost Indian exports, ease market access, and strengthen bilateral economic ties. Markets reacted positively, with experts calling it a big win for Indian industry and investors.
