In short

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said India and the US have reached a plateau in their trade talks at an event in New Delhi. She said it would be very difficult for either side to give or take much more.

The report does not say which trade issues are still open. It also does not say what happens next in the talks.

What the reporting says

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said India-US trade negotiations have reached a plateau at an event in New Delhi, according to a publisher summary. She said going much further would be very difficult for both countries. The reporting does not say which issues remain unresolved or whether any next round of talks has been scheduled.

Why it matters

Nirmala Sitharaman’s comments suggest India-US trade negotiations have stalled at a difficult stage. The statement was made in New Delhi and signals limited room for further concessions, but the reporting does not identify the disputed areas or any formal breakdown. The immediate market or policy impact is unclear from the available summary.
