ISSME congratulates India and the European Union on the successful conclusion of the India–EU Free Trade Agreement, a historic milestone announced at the 16th India–EU Summit.

Bringing together the world’s 4th and 2nd largest economies, this agreement opens unprecedented opportunities for MSMEs, exporters, professionals, farmers, artisans, women, and youth, while strengthening trust and cooperation between two major global partners.

With preferential market access for over 99% of Indian exports, strong support for labour-intensive sectors, ambitious commitments in services and mobility, and forward-looking engagement on sustainability and innovation, the FTA reflects a balanced and inclusive vision for future growth.

This agreement goes beyond trade—it is about jobs, skills, innovation, resilience, and shared prosperity, aligned with India’s vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 and the EU’s commitment to sustainable and rules-based global trade.

ISSME looks forward to supporting MSMEs and small businesses in leveraging the opportunities emerging from this historic partnership.
