India and the European Union are working towards finalizing an early harvest trade agreement by July 2025, aiming to eliminate tariff and non-tariff barriers to boost bilateral trade. The deal is expected to cover key trade matters, including government procurement and intellectual property rights, before progressing to a comprehensive free trade agreement.
Negotiations have accelerated, with Indian officials currently in Brussels for discussions. The agreement is seen as a strategic move to strengthen economic ties amid evolving global trade dynamics.
