The European Union and India have announced a landmark trade deal after nearly two decades of negotiations. The deal aims to deepen ties between the two entities amid tensions with the US, particularly regarding tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. The agreement is expected to expand market access for Indian exports to Europe and ease entry for European investments and goods into India. The deal represents 25% of global GDP and one-third of global trade, making it a significant development in the global economy.

India and the European Union have finalized a 'landmark' free trade agreement, according to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The deal, which has been in the making for nearly two decades, is expected to boost India's economy, particularly in sectors such as textiles, gems, and jewelry. The agreement will create a market of 2 billion people and complement India's existing trade deals with Britain and the European Free Trade Association. The EU is India's largest trading partner, with bilateral trade amounting to over $140 billion in 2024. While the deal is seen as a significant milestone, experts note that it will not replace the need for an India-U.S. trade agreement.

India and the European Union have finalized a landmark trade deal after nearly two decades of negotiations. The agreement is expected to open up India's vast market to free trade with the EU, its largest trading partner. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the deal, calling it the 'mother of all deals', and stated that it will bring major opportunities for India's 1.4 billion people and millions in Europe. The deal is seen as a hedge against fickle ties with the US, particularly after an India-US trade deal collapsed last year. Trade between India and the EU stood at $136.5 billion in the fiscal year through March 2025, and the formal signing of the deal is expected to take place after legal vetting in five to six months.
