NEW DELHI – "American suppliers must get free access to Indian markets," Sergio Gor, US ambassador to India, said at the 66th annual session of the Automotive Component Manufacturers Association of India Tuesday. Speaking to industry leaders and original equipment manufacturers, Gor said India and US relations are at a historical high point with the US wanting to work with India.

 

The envoy said both countries are partnering on virtually everything and the US trusts India. "When the global automotive industry moves, US-India cooperation is the engine under that hood," he said. "We are no longer just shipping components across oceans. We are co-designing the future of mobility together."

 

Apart from the automobile sector, Gor highlighted India's contribution to pharmaceuticals, military sales, military exercises, information technology, data centres, and the US mission to the moon. He said that two weeks ago, officials of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration were in Delhi, and the agency has also invited Israel to join the manned moon mission.

Speaking on the bilateral trade agreement, Gor said both governments want to build a fair, reciprocal, and mutually beneficial trade relationship. "We have made real progress (on the trade deal), including the trade understanding that our governments have reached," he said.

 

According to Gor, the progress on the trade deal extends beyond trade and goods. The two countries are partnering on virtually everything. This year both signed the Pax Silica Declaration, which, according to him, was a landmark step towards a pro-innovation regulatory framework. The declaration will make it easier for American and Indian companies to invest across borders, Gor said. India was among the first countries to be invited to join the Pax Silica when it was created. "It is because we trust India," Gor said, "...we want to work with India. The automotive component sector sits squarely at the intersection of these priorities."

 

Highlighting the footprints of US industry in India, Gor said Ford Motor Co. recently announced a $370 million investment to retool its Chennai facility to produce next-generation engines for the global market. He also mentioned other iconic top-tier companies that are investing in India.

 

Gor invited Indian firms to the US, providing fair competition that could benefit both workers and the companies. "I want to underscore that fair market access cuts both ways," he said. "As our governments work through the details of our trade relationship, we should aim to create an environment where American suppliers and technology can freely access the market to be sold to Indian manufacturers. Bring your operations to the United States."
