India’s Trade Agreements in Action:
The Government has highlighted India’s growing use of Free Trade Agreements, showing early export gains, rising preferential Certificate of Origin issuance and wider product diversification across FTA partner markets.Over the past decade, India has expanded its network of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) across major global markets, reflecting its growing economic weight and deeper integration with the world economy.Recent FTAs are opening new markets for Indian exporters, diversifying trade partnerships and creating opportunities across goods, services and investment.India’s strategy is increasingly centred on ensuring that negotiated market access translates into higher export participation, investment flows and employment generation.While pursuing greater global market access, India continues to safeguard domestic priorities and sensitive sectors through calibrated trade commitments.In FY 2025–26, India’s combined merchandise and services exports reached a record USD 863.1 billion, including USD 441.8 billion in merchandise exports.During April–June 2026, combined exports were grew by 11.37% over the corresponding period of the previous year.
