New Delhi, April 20 : The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has disassociated itself from the remarks made by two of its Members of Parliament (MPs) -- Nishikant Dubey and Dinesh Sharma -- regarding the judiciary and the Chief Justice of India.

As per officials, the agenda for the talks has been finalised and will cover an extensive range of issues spread across 19 chapters.

These include key areas such as tariffs, non-tariff barriers, rules of origin, trade in goods and services, customs facilitation, and regulatory cooperation.

This round of talks is being closely watched, with both New Delhi and Washington aiming to conclude an early harvest agreement before the fall deadline.

India and the US have targeted to conclude the first phase of the BTA by the fall (September-October) of this year, with an aim to more than double the bilateral trade to $500 billion by 2030, from about $191 billion currently.

Both nations are working to sign the first tranche of a BTA to bring down tariffs before the agreed timeline of the fall of 2025 as the terms of reference for the pact have already been finalised.
