India signals openness to extending tariff-free deal on ecommerce, two diplomats say

India has signalled it may drop its opposition to the extension of a global agreement to not impose tariffs on electronic transmissions such as digital downloads and streaming, two senior diplomats said. India’s Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal had on Thursday cast doubt on US efforts to permanently extend the moratorium – which is set to expire this month – during a World ‌Trade Organization meeting in ⁠Cameroon ⁠this week, saying it warranted “careful reconsideration.”
