Economist and author Surjit Bhalla on Wednesday said that a comprehensive India-US trade agreement could reshape India’s economic trajectory and help the country realise its Viksit Bharat vision by 2047. Bhalla told ANI that the agreement should be India’s top economic priority as it would boost technology access, expand markets and sharpen India’s global competitiveness far beyond any gains in trade volume. “The trade deal with the US is not just about trade surplus. It is about markets, technology, etc,” he said.
