India is close to finalizing a trade deal with the United States, with both sides reportedly near agreement on most issues, a government official said, even as Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal stressed that New Delhi will not rush into any pact, according to Bloomberg .

“There has been convergence on most issues, and a deal is in sight,” the official, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the private nature of discussions, told reporters in New Delhi. Goyal earlier said India would not be pressured to finalize agreements.

“We don’t do deals in a hurry, and we don’t do deals with deadlines, with a gun on our head,” he said at an event in Berlin, Germany. “And we have accepted that if there is a tariff on us, there is a tariff on us.”
