EU-India Trade Agreement Opportunities

The European Union and India have signed a new trade agreement, reducing tariffs on cars from 110% to 10%, offering new opportunities for German automakers to expand into the Indian market, with experts predicting significant growth potential, but also noting challenges from local and Japanese competitors. German automakers can now export cars to India with lower tariffs, but they must also contend with the growing demand for electric vehicles in the country, where the government is promoting the adoption of electric buses and two-wheelers. The agreement is expected to boost the Indian economy, which has been growing at an average rate of 6-7% per year, and provide new opportunities for German businesses to invest in the country, as noted by Friedrich Merz in Indien: Was der Subkontinent für die deutsche Wirtschaft bedeutet.
