India, EU close to free trade deal amid US tariffs turmoil  DW  09/16/2025
"We are now maximizing our efforts to finalize negotiations by the end of the year,"
"India and the EU complement each other and offer great opportunities on both sides."
"a balanced EU-India FTA that delivers for people, farmers and businesses on both sides,"
"While statements from both sides reflect growing optimism, the India-EU trade deal is not done until it is truly done,"
Negotiations for a free trade agreement between India and the European Union aim for conclusion by year-end. Talks resumed in 2022 after a 2013 suspension, with 13 rounds completed and a 14th scheduled in Brussels for October 6-10. Negotiators emphasize agriculture, balanced outcomes, and benefits for people, farmers and businesses. US tariff measures under the Trump administration have strengthened incentives for a reliable EU-India partnership and supply-chain diversification. Optimism has increased among officials, while cautionary perspectives stress that final agreement depends on resolving remaining issues and completing all negotiation details.
