India–EU “Mother Of All Deals”: How Mega Trade Pact Could Reshape Global Trade

India and the European Union are set to finalise the long-awaited India–EU Free Trade Agreement, described by the EU leadership as a landmark deal. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s remarks on India’s global importance drew international attention ahead of her visit to New Delhi. India has confirmed that negotiations are complete, calling the agreement balanced and forward-looking, with implementation expected next year. The pact is significant given the combined economic weight of India and the EU, and is expected to boost trade, create opportunities in key sectors, and deepen economic integration between two major global partners.
