Published by Parlour News

When trade agreements make headlines, the focus is usually on tariffs, expected export gains and market access. That is understandable. But the recently concluded India–EU Free Trade Agreement (FTA), for which negotiations were completed on 27 January 2026 after nearly two decades of negotiation, is expected to expand Indian textile exports to the EU from roughly today to as much as $30–40 billion, according to commerce minister Piyush Goyal. Prime Minister Narendra Modi with European Council President António Luís Santos da Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, at Hyderabad House.

The project received World Bank loan approval in 1984 but was halted in 1987 following protests over displacement, forest loss and concerns raised by tribal communities. (HT Photo) Dantewada district collector Devesh Dhruv confirmed survey instructions had been issued. “The target is to complete the overall survey within seven to eight months.
