The ministry said both sides noted substantial progress by negotiating teams in recent months.
The discussions focused on ways to conclude an interim agreement, which is being seen as an important step towards a more comprehensive trade pact.
The talks follow the India-US joint statement of 7 February 2026, under which both countries agreed to work towards an interim deal while continuing negotiations for a wider agreement.
Both sides said the proposed agreement should be balanced, commercially meaningful and deliver tangible benefits for businesses, farmers, workers and consumers in India and the United States.
The latest round of talks comes at a time when global trade patterns are shifting and countries are looking to build more resilient and trusted supply chains.
For India and the US, the negotiations are also linked to broader cooperation in innovation, strategic sectors and economic security.
The Commerce Ministry said both countries expressed confidence that the ongoing negotiations will deepen economic ties and strengthen the India-US Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership.
