India May Open Government Contracts to U.S., Foreign Firms

India is thinking about letting companies from the U.S. and other countries bid on government projects, like building roads or buying supplies.

This is similar to a deal they made with the UK.

They want to make it easier to trade with other countries.

This could mean big companies from the U.S. could get these contracts.

However, the Indian government will still protect small businesses by reserving a quarter of the orders for them.

They are hoping to reach a deal with the U.S. soon.
