US deal seen as push for deeper liberalisation
In short
Arvind Panagariya said a US deal could lead India to open its economy more. The summary says he also wants more privatization and judicial reforms, and notes that growth and foreign direct investment are still strong.
This matters because trade deals with the UK and European Union may also help India. But the reporting does not say what the US deal includes or when it might happen.

A publisher-supplied summary said Arvind Panagariya argued that a US deal could spur further liberalisation, alongside deeper trade opening, more privatization and judicial reforms. It said India’s growth remains strong and foreign direct investment is still promising, with trade agreements with the UK and European Union expected to help. The reporting does not state any specific deal terms, timing or official decision.
