India’s Position and Opportunities: India’s growing economy and neutral stance offer leverage, with potential for expanded EU market access in pharma, IT, and defense co-production. Both sides need strategic negotiations to counter US influence.
Outlook and Call to Action: The next five months will see critical talks in Brussels and Delhi, with India urged to stay vigilant against external pressures. The FTA could be a shield against global trade disruptions.
