India and the European Union will resume stalled Free Trade Agreement negotiations next month in Brussels, aiming to finalize a deal by early 2026. The talks — paused since last year — have gained renewed momentum as both sides seek new trade routes amid shifting global alliances.
Key sticking points include agricultural tariffs, data regulation, and government procurement rules. Yet recent progress in digital services and pharmaceuticals has been promising.
EU Trade Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis said, “With India’s digital economy booming, we see significant mutual benefit.”
India’s economy is expected to grow over 6% this year, making it a critical export market for EU tech and automotive firms. A completed FTA could boost annual trade volumes by $120 billion, according to joint forecasts.
