India's Free Trade Agreements Projected to Boost GDP and Exports by 2035
Bloomberg Economics reports that India's expanding free trade agreements (FTAs) could boost its GDP by about $140 billion (1.7%) and increase exports by 6.2% by 2035. Gains may rise to $170 billion (2.1%) if India finalizes deals with the US, Eurasian Economic Union, Gulf Cooperation Council, and Israel. These FTAs aim to open markets, reduce import costs, attract foreign investment, and enhance productivity amid global trade realignments driven by rising US tariffs and supply chain diversification.
