This landmark deal is set to revolutionize the Indian market by slashing import duties on over 90% of European goods, making premium products ranging from luxury automobiles to gourmet foods much more affordable for Indian consumers.
The agreement, described by Prime Minister Modi as a “blueprint for shared prosperity,” is expected to save EU exporters nearly 4 billion euros annually in duties while providing India with unprecedented access to European markets.

Major Price Cuts on Global Brands
The most significant impact of the FTA will be seen in the pricing of high-end consumer goods. Currently, high import tariffs have kept many European products in the luxury bracket. Under the new agreement, these rates will be drastically reduced or eliminated.
Impact on Lifestyle and Industry
Automotive Sector: Luxury car enthusiasts can expect a massive drop in prices as the 110% duty crashes to just 10% for a specific quota of vehicles.

Food and Beverage: European staples such as Italian olive oil, Swiss chocolates, and French wines will see their prices plummet, making them accessible to a broader section of the Indian middle class.
Healthcare and Technology: The removal of duties on medical equipment and pharmaceuticals is expected to lower healthcare costs and introduce advanced European medical technology to Indian hospitals.
Industrial Growth: With zero duty on machinery, chemicals, and steel, Indian manufacturers will benefit from cheaper raw materials and high-tech equipment, potentially boosting the ‘Make in India’ initiative.
This FTA represents the largest trade opportunity India has ever extended to a partner. Beyond immediate price drops, the deal is expected to streamline supply chains and encourage European companies to set up more extensive operations within India.
For the average Indian consumer, the “Mother of All Deals” translates into more choices at competitive prices, signaling a new era of globalized trade for the nation.
