flag New Zealand and India finalized a trade deal boosting exports and market access, pending ratification.

flag New Zealand and India have finalized a free trade agreement after years of negotiations, with the deal now awaiting ratification in both countries’ parliaments. flag The agreement aims to boost trade by improving market access for New Zealand exporters in meat, forestry, horticulture, and textiles, while India gains better access to New Zealand’s labor market. flag Key concessions include limited dairy market access for New Zealand due to India’s strong domestic sector, though duty-free re-exports of dairy ingredients are included. flag India’s support is strong under Prime Minister Modi’s coalition, while New Zealand faces opposition from New Zealand First, requiring cross-party backing to pass legislation before the 2026 general election. flag A one-year review clause allows for adjustments. flag The deal is expected to enhance economic ties as India grows into the world’s third-largest economy by 2030.
