India-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement Takes Effect With Zero-Duty Export Access

The India-New Zealand free trade agreement came into effect on Tuesday, granting all Indian exports zero-duty access to New Zealand.

New Zealand has committed to investing $20 billion in India over the next 15 years as part of the bilateral pact.

Sensitive sectors such as dairy, onions, and chickpeas remain excluded from the trade deal to protect domestic agricultural interests.
