India’s Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with New Zealand will come into force on October 20, 2026, providing duty-free access to 100% of Indian exports to the New Zealand market. The agreement is expected to benefit sectors including textiles, leather, footwear, engineering goods, gems and jewellery, and processed food products. The pact aims to strengthen bilateral trade, improve export competitiveness and create new opportunities for Indian businesses, particularly manufacturers and exporters seeking to expand their international market presence.
