India and America Are Working as Natural Partners

Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal today said that India and the United States are working as natural partners and complement each other across sectors including technology innovation, high precision defence, digital data centres, quantum computing and medical devices.

Addressing the Annual Leadership Summit of the American Chamber of Commerce in New Delhi, the Minister said the partnership between the two countries is strengthened by mutual trust and shared economic interests.

Shri Goyal said commitments from American industry in the last six months are estimated to be upwards of 60 billion dollars, including major data centre investments by companies such as Amazon and Google. He said India provides a trusted framework for global companies and combines scale, talent and market opportunity in a manner unmatched globally.

The Minister said America is looking for a trusted partner and India has consistently demonstrated respect for intellectual property rights while delivering high-quality output on time. He said India offers a large pool of skilled talent and provides scale to American innovation through demand aggregation from 1.4 billion aspirational Indians, rising incomes and a growing middle class.

Shri Goyal said India and the United States have economies that complement each other with minimal competition, making the partnership stronger. He said when complementarity is combined with mutual trust, it creates an unbeatable combination capable of building trusted and resilient supply chains for the future.

The Minister said the Government is also adopting an area-based approach to industrial development through the Bhavya scheme aimed at creating 100 new industrial parks across the country. He said the model integrates industrial infrastructure with worker housing, recreation and social amenities to create holistic industrial ecosystems.(UPDATED ON 21ST MAY 2026)
