India and Oman Strengthen Economic Ties with New Strategic Partnership Agreement
India and Oman are enhancing their economic relationship by shifting from traditional buyer-seller trade to strategic partnerships across sectors like manufacturing, logistics, and ports. The Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), effective June 1, 2026, offers duty-free access to most Indian exports to Oman, boosting trade volumes. Oman is positioned as a gateway for Indian businesses expanding into the Gulf, East Africa, and other markets. Bilateral trade increased to USD 10.61 billion in FY 2024-25, reflecting growing cooperation and opportunities.
