India's FTA Network: A Game Changer for Foreign Investors

India's expanding network of Free Trade Agreements is creating new trade corridors and investment opportunities.

Key FTAs

  • India-UAE CEPA (2022): Zero duty on 80% of Indian exports
  • India-Australia ECTA (2022): Duty elimination on 85% of Australian exports
  • India-ASEAN FTA: Preferential tariffs with 10 Southeast Asian nations
  • India-Japan CEPA: Comprehensive agreement covering goods, services, and investment

How This Helps Foreign Investors

Manufacturing in India gives access to preferential tariff rates in FTA partner countries. This makes India an excellent export base for markets across Asia, Middle East, and Oceania.
