Overview

  • Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, on a three-day Washington visit Wednesday, launched the India‑US Trade Facilitation Portal with Ambassador Vinay Mohan Kwatra.
  • The portal lets Indian sellers connect directly with U.S. buyers, with the site now open for sign‑ups.
  • Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal urged businesses to use the platform, calling it a runway for services and a boost for MSMEs, farmers, jewellers, software developers, and pharma firms.
  • The consulate in New York says the site offers AI-based matching, smart search, private dashboards, webinars with major retailers, and guidance on U.S. compliance.
  • Officials say the tool will shore up supply chains and build on the recent $241 billion trade volume as both countries pursue the Mission 500 target for 2030.
