𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐁𝐂 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 WASHINGTON- Ambassador (ret.) Atul Keshap, President, U.S.-India Business Council (USIBC), released the following statement calling on both governments to intensify their efforts to conclude a trade agreement. “The United States and India have achieved truly historic milestones over the last two decades. Finalizing a Reciprocal Agreement on Trade before year’s end would be their greatest accomplishment yet. “We call on both governments to use this opportunity to conclude an agreement that lowers trade barriers, and minimizes tariffs. A historic agreement would encapsulate this year’s hard-won progress providing greater certainty to an incredibly consequential economic and strategic bilateral partnnership. “Unlocking reciprocal trade will build on 2026’s record investments and secure a win for American and Indian business that delivers immediate benefits to working families by boosting manufacturing, opening vast new consumer markets, and cementing both nations as global leaders in AI. “U.S.-India Business Council members are steadfast champions of this partnership. We look forward to working with both governments to accelerate collaboration between the world’s largest economy and its fastest-growing major economy.” @USAmbKeshap @Usibc_md

USIBC was delighted to host 𝐃𝐫. 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐫 𝐆ü𝐥, 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐀𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 (𝐈𝐄𝐀), on global trends regarding critical energy supply chains. Dr. Gül leads the work of the IEA’s Energy Technology Division, including its flagship publication, Energy Technology Perspectives, among other key forums. Key takeaways from the session: • Clean energy technologies are now a 𝐔𝐒𝐃 1.2 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭, with the potential to double or more over the next decade. • Yet, clean energy supply chains remain highly concentrated. Across every supply chain analyzed by the IEA, there is at least one stage where countries outside the dominant producer can meet 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 25% 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝, from battery materials and solar wafers to rare earth magnets and heat-pump components. • Building resilient supply chains means 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐬 𝐮𝐩𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦, not just investing in final assembly. • Closing the cost gap with the leading producer will require 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬,, with each bringing their own strengths to the table. With its growing capabilities and market potential, India is well placed to be an important partner in building more diversified and competitive clean energy supply chains. We are grateful to Dr. Timur Gül and the @IEA India Desk for their collaboration, and to our members for an insightful discussion. #EnergySecurity #SupplyChains #IEA @USAmbKeshap @Usibc_md @KaruturiPradeep
