Piyush Goyal writes to UP CM Yogi Adityanath: Praises GeM adoption; calls it ‘source of inspiration’
Wednesday, 18 June 2025 Union Minister Piyush Goyal has lauded Uttar Pradesh's widespread adoption of the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) platform, calling it an inspiration for the nation. Uttar Pradesh's strong institutional trust in GeM is evident in its consistent procurement growth over the past five years. A key move was the state's order mandating 100% GeM implementation across all departments, enhancing transparency and efficiency.
Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds and his Indian counterpart Piyush Goyal formally signed the UK-India trade agreement in the great hall of Chequers.

President Donald Trump has reignited global trade tension by declaring that the U.S. can “do whatever we want” as the July 8 deadline on reciprocal tariffs approaches. The 90-day pause on steep U.S. import duties—affecting several nations—is set to expire soon, with Trump refusing to confirm adherence to any deadline. While the EU faces a 50% tariff threat by July 9, Trump hinted flexibility, echoing his stance that America will act in its best interest. Amidst this uncertainty, Trump teased a “very big” trade deal with India, stating the U.S. has finalized partial deals with China and the UK and is working on opening India’s trade structure. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Indian Minister Piyush Goyal have confirmed negotiations are progressing. Trump suggested letters may soon be sent to over 200 nations outlining revised U.S. trade terms. The trade battlefield is heating up again—with Trump in full control.
