Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has said that 100 per cent Australian product categories will be duty-free for Indian exports from January 1, 2026, unlocking fresh opportunities for labour-intensive sectors, under the Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA) between the both countries. The Minister was commenting on the third anniversary of the deal, which came into effect on December 29, 2022.
He noted ‘Over the past three years, the Agreement has delivered sustained export growth, deeper market access, and stronger supply-chain resilience, benefiting Indian exporters, MSMEs, farmers, and workers alike.’ He also said India's exports to Australia rose 8 per cent in 2024-25 with major gains witnessed across chemicals, textiles, plastics, pharma, petroleum products, and gems and jewellery sectors.
The India-Australia Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA) was signed on April 2, 2022, ratified on November 21, written notifications were exchanged on November 29 and after 30 days, the Agreement has come into force i.e. on December 29, 2022.
