        • In\u00a02023<\/strong>,\u00a0India\u2013EU trade in goods<\/strong>\u00a0stood at about\u00a0\u20ac113.175 billion<\/strong>, comprising\u00a0Indian exports of around \u20ac64.860 billion<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0imports of around \u20ac48.315 billion<\/strong>, resulting in a\u00a0trade surplus for India of roughly \u20ac16.5 billion<\/strong>.<\/li>
        • The\u00a0European Union is one of India\u2019s largest trading partners<\/strong>. It accounts for around\u00a0\u20ac124 billion of India\u2019s total goods trade (approximately 12.2% of India\u2019s overall trade)<\/strong>, and\u00a0EU\u2013India trade in services reached nearly \u20ac60 billion in 2023<\/strong>, almost\u00a0double the level recorded in 2020<\/strong>.<\/li>
        • EU data indicate that India ranks among the EU\u2019s top trading partners, while the EU is one of India\u2019s largest markets for both goods and services.<\/li>
        • Sectorally, key\u00a0EU export sectors to India<\/strong>\u00a0include\u00a0chemicals, electronics, machinery, dairy, sugar, tobacco, textiles, pharmaceuticals, minerals, metals, and transport equipment<\/strong>. Many of these are\u00a0MSME-intensive sectors<\/strong>\u00a0(such as electronics, machinery, rubber, plastics, and metal products).<\/li>
        • Major\u00a0Indian exports to the EU<\/strong>\u00a0include\u00a0wearing apparel, chemicals, dairy products, grains, sugar, meat, textiles, motor vehicles, and transport equipment<\/strong>, supported by India\u2019s competitive manufacturing base and growing agri-processing capabilities.<\/li>
        • On\u00a027 January 2026<\/strong>, India and the European Union\u00a0concluded negotiations on a comprehensive India\u2013EU Free Trade Agreement (India\u2013EU FTA)<\/strong>\u00a0at the India\u2013EU Summit in New Delhi, following nearly two decades of talks.<\/li>
        • The agreement has been described as the\u00a0\u201cmother of all deals\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0and will create a large free-trade zone covering a\u00a0market of about 2 billion people<\/strong>, subject to legal vetting, formal signing, and ratification by the European Parliament and Indian authorities.<\/li>
        • Under the envisaged FTA, India is expected to\u00a0reduce or eliminate tariffs on about 96.6% of EU exports<\/strong>, while the EU will\u00a0phase in tariff reductions covering nearly 99% of India\u2019s exports by trade value<\/strong>. Annual tariff savings for EU exporters are estimated at up to around\u00a0\u20ac4 billion<\/strong>\u00a0once the agreement is fully implemented.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
