India's Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal is expected to visit Washington soon for trade talks, Indian media reported on Sept 19, a trip that would take place amid efforts to ease strained bilateral ties.
The reports did not say when Goyal would leave for the U.S.
India's Ministry of Commerce and Industry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment outside business hours.
India and the U.S. held what the Indian side called "positive" and "forward-looking" trade discussions on Sept 16, raising hopes for a breakthrough after President Donald Trump sharply hiked tariffs on imports from the South Asian nation last month.

Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also spoke by phone on Sept 16.
Trump doubled tariffs on Indian imports to as much as 50 percent on August 27 over its purchases of Russian oil, part of Washington's efforts to step up pressure on Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine.
