The India-EU Trade Deal is a pioneering agreement that promises to strengthen India’s economy, improve India’s global position, and provide India with a competitive advantage in terms of employment. This first of its kind agreement provides India with a gateway to 27 countries in the European bloc, potentially catalyzing India’s economic growth.
Unrivaled Access to Markets India-EU Trade
