India FTA Growth: In the last decade, India has emerged as decisive and confident in redrawing and redefining the map of global trade, while charting a modern, future-ready generation of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs).
India has steadily expanded its network of free trade agreements over the past few years reaching Nine FTAs spanning 38 countries. Starting with India-Mauritius in 2021, the India-UAE Comprehensive Economic partnership agreement followed in May 2022. India-Australia Economic and Trade Agreement was implemented in December 2022. India then signed the EFTA TEPA on 10th March 2024, which entered into force on 1st October 2025. The India-UK CETA was signed in July 2025 and India-Oman CEPA in December 2025. The India-New Zealand FTA was announced on 22nd December 2025, followed by the India–EU FTA on 27th January 2026. With United States, we have delivered framework for an interim agreement on 7th February 2026 and cemented our global trade footprint.
Every agreement has been unique and a recognition: of the scale of our market, our economic potential and the trust in the capabilities of 1.4 billion Indians.This expanding network of partnerships reflects the steady progress of India FTA Growth, reinforcing the country’s position as a reliable and forward-looking trade partner.
These Agreements are for farmers whose products now have access to the developed world. They are for entrepreneurs, women-led MSMEs exporting garments, leather and handicrafts with new competitiveness. They are for talent – young Indians, our students, IT professionals, chefs, yoga instructors who now have choices and clear mobility pathways to work, to study and to build futures supported by post-study work visas, mobility and social security relief. They are for organic products, AYUSH wellness systems, and digital services, further strengthening India FTA Growth in emerging global industries.
India has negotiated FTAs with openness, balance and our national priority of an atmanirbhar bharat. The interests of all sensitive sectors-dairy, agriculture, farmers, and domestic industry-have been protected, and market access has been safeguarded. Negotiating from a position of strength, the country continues to advance India FTA Growth, ushering in a new era of global trade transformation and supporting the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047.
