In 2022, India and the US collaborated on technology initiatives centred around semiconductor production and artificial intelligence development.

The talks were the basis for a deal between US-based company General Electric and Indian company Hindustan Aeronautics to produce jet engines in India.

The accord was critical in sealing a deal to allow U.S.-based General Electric to partner with India’s Hindustan Aeronautics to produce jet engines in India.

Relations between India and the US have grown closer, according to AP, under the Modi and Biden administration. In 2024, Biden threw a state dinner for prime minister Narendra Modi.

Diplomatic ties had faced a strain however, after a US prosecutor accusation in 2023 accused an official in PM Modi's government of having a hand in a foiled assassination plot against a Sikh activist in New York, and the killing of another Sikh activist in Canada.
