Union Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has revealed that the landmark India-European Union Free Trade Agreement is on the verge of completion, with the legal review expected to conclude within weeks. Calling it the "mother of all deals," Goyal said the agreement has received unanimous support from all 27 EU member states—an unprecedented achievement for a trade pact of this scale. Expected to become operational in early 2026, the India-EU FTA is set to deepen trade, investment, technology, defence, tourism, education and cultural ties between two of the world's largest economic blocs. Together, India and the European Union account for nearly 30% of the global economy, making this one of the most significant trade agreements in recent history.
