In short
Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal said the first part of the India-US trade deal is finished and in final drafting. He said it should start once India gets terms similar to its peers.
That matters for trade rules between the two countries, but the reporting does not say when it will begin or what is still being negotiated.
What the reporting says
