India–EU Free Trade Agreement Finalized: What It Means for Your Business

India and the European Union have formally concluded negotiations on the India–EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA), widely regarded as the “mother of all deals” in bilateral trade. The agreement is expected to generate annual customs duty savings of approximately €4 billion for European exporters and provides preferential access to India’s 1.4 billion-strong consumer market, one of the fastest-growing in the world. 

This transformative deal covers a wide range of trade and investment provisions, creating significant opportunities for European investors in India. Key beneficiaries include machinery and electrical equipment, medical devices, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, which will gain from substantial tariff reductions or eliminations. Beyond goods, the FTA also strengthens services trade, investment facilitation, intellectual property protection, digital trade, and sustainability standards, establishing a predictable, growth-oriented framework that supports long-term expansion for European businesses. 

Join our exclusive webinar, where our experts Ankur Munjal, Country Director, India, and Naina Bhardwaj, Associate Director at Dezan Shira & Associates India, will share actionable insights on navigating this landmark agreement. The session will guide European companies on leveraging preferential market access, mitigating compliance risks, and positioning for growth in India’s dynamic economy.
