The US is expected to push for sweeping changes in India’s policies, ranging from tariff reductions to regulatory overhauls, that could benefit American firms and exporters, under the proposed bilateral trade agreement with India, think tank GTRI said on Sunday.

In the agri sector, the Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI) said, the US demands scaling back India’s minimum price support programmes for crops like rice and wheat, removing restrictions on genetically modified (GM) imports, and lowering farm tariffs.
