EU-India Free Trade Agreement: Practical implications and opportunities
About the event
On 27 January 2026, the EU and India concluded a landmark Free Trade Agreement (FTA). The agreement is set to eliminate or reduce tariffs on 96.6% of EU goods exports to India, with estimated duty savings of around €4 billion per year. For internationally active organisations, this can accelerate trade and open new growth opportunities.
During the webinar on tuesday 19 May 2026, Baker Tilly experts - joined by key stakeholders from Europe and India - will provide a deep dive into the impact of this agreement. We will help you translate these trade developments into concrete business opportunities.
