India and the United States finalized an interim trade framework on Feb. 7, 2026, lowering US reciprocal tariffs on many Indian exports from 50% to 18% and promising tariff-free access for generics, gems and aircraft parts. The pact also reduces Indian tariffs on US industrial and agricultural inputs, accelerates regulatory alignment, and strengthens cooperation on GPUs, semiconductors and supply-chain integration.

Key Points

  • 1Cuts US tariff on many Indian exports from 50% to 18% immediately
  • 2Grants tariff-free access for generics, gems, and aircraft parts, boosting export competitiveness
  • 3Reduces input costs and speeds approvals, enabling faster integration into global supply chains

Scoring Rationale

High bilateral economic impact and concrete tariff cuts, limited by low relevance to core AI/ML/DS practitioners.
