India-EU Free Trade Agreement Sets Vehicle Export Quotas and Tariff Reductions
The India-EU free trade agreement allows European Union carmakers to export up to 100,000 passenger vehicles annually to India at concessional import duties, with the quota rising to 160,000 by the 10th year. Tariff reductions apply mainly to internal combustion engine and hybrid vehicles priced above €15,000, with duties decreasing progressively over five years. The pact also grants Indian-origin vehicles a larger export quota to the EU. Electric vehicle concessions begin from Year 5, with some price-based exclusions. Tariffs on imports beyond quotas will also be reduced gradually.
