Substantial differences remain between India & EU on negotiations for the Free Trade Agreement. It remains unclear whether agriculture or which parts of this sector will be included in the FTA.
The European Union is India’s single-largest trading partner when exports and imports with all 27 member-states are calculated. The deal has been almost two decades in the making.
India and Russia, as a part of Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), are set to hold the 2nd round of negotiations on a trade deal next month after the Union Budget.
It’s India’s 3rd FTA with a Five-Eyes alliance member in the last 4 years. It is also the 3rd trade deal announced by New Delhi this year, after agreements with the UK & Oman.
Deal expected to be operational within 3 months and allow Indian importers to ‘replace’ imports from Turkey and source ‘better-priced’ blocks from Oman, Minister Piyush Goyal said.
Apart from FTA, a number of key agreements are expected in sectors such as trade, investment, energy, defence, technology, agriculture, culture & people-to-people ties.

What are India’s gains? Indian exports to Switzerland are already enjoying duty reductions just as any other country. Swiss and allied countries exports to India will get benefit of duty reduction.

Mere headline management by the current Indian dispensation and as usual by the media. One requires critical analysis instead.?
