Indian officials have quietly hit the pause button on the next round of trade talks with Washington. According to my information, the Indian negotiation team has postponed its planned visit to the US and no fresh dates have been communicated so far. This comes right after the US Supreme Court struck down a big chunk of President Trump’s earlier global tariff framework, throwing fresh uncertainty over the legal basis and durability of any new tariff concessions. New Delhi’s worry is simple. India had just negotiated a path to bring punitive US tariffs on select Indian exports down to 18 percent in return for a big multi‑year purchase commitment of US goods, including energy and aircraft. With the court now saying Trump exceeded his authority on the previous tariff regime, it is unclear what exactly replaces it, how long a new structure will survive, and whether already agreed cuts can stick without Congress stepping in. Until there is clarity on how the US retools its tariff laws after the verdict and what that means for refunds, collections and future hikes, India has decided to sit tight and wait rather than lock itself into an agreement that might need rewriting within months.
