India's Free Trade Agreements Influence Dairy, Medical Devices, and Digital Trade Sectors
India's expanding network of free trade agreements (FTAs) is shaping its export sectors, including dairy, medical devices, and digital trade. While India remains the world's largest milk producer, its dairy exports are limited, prompting calls for balancing protection of small farmers with competitiveness. The medical devices industry sees opportunities in the EU and UK markets through FTAs, alongside concerns about imports. The India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) introduces digital trade rules aimed at facilitating cross-border data flows and reducing trade costs, supporting India's growing digitally delivered services exports.
