India and New Zealand have concluded a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) where New Zealand will offer zero-duty access for all Indian exports and facilitate FDI worth $20 billion by 2030. India will reciprocate by relaxing tariffs on 95% of New Zealand's imports, with 57% becoming duty-free immediately. The deal emphasizes skill mobility, creating opportunities for Indian professionals in sectors like IT, healthcare, and education, and includes provisions for student and worker mobility. It also supports MSMEs in labor-intensive sectors.
