Overview
Two reports point to a US–India trade agreement with potential knock-on effects for energy supply and clean-energy equipment flows. The BBC report links the deal to India’s stated move to stop buying Russian oil, while Solar Power World highlights that the agreement could lower the general tariff level applied to Indian solar panel imports into the US—though both accounts note limited detail so far.
