A revised factsheet released by the White House on the proposed India–US trade deal has drawn fresh attention — and fresh doubts — over the real shape of the agreement. Changes highlighted in the document include references to India’s digital services tax, tariffs on pulses, and a headline-grabbing $500 billion investment commitment, but without sufficient detail to explain how or when these measures would be implemented.
Trade experts say the revisions raise more questions than they answer, as several claims in the factsheet do not fully match India’s publicly stated positions. The absence of timelines, sector-wise investment plans and clarity on tariff adjustments has fuelled uncertainty over whether the document reflects concluded negotiations or merely broad intentions. As both countries continue discussions, analysts caution that the true contours of the India–US trade deal remain far from clear.
