India-EU FTA provides hedge to IT exporters amid global uncertainty: Nasscom

28 Jan 2026 Evaluate

With India and the European Union (EU) sealing a landmark free trade agreement (FTA), Nasscom has said that Indian IT firms stand to gain from greater opportunities in Europe, including easier cross-border provision of services and potentially improved mobility for professionals. It noted that FTA fosters deeper EU-India ties in technology, innovation, and digital areas (building on the India-EU Trade and Technology Council) and could lead to more EU investment in India's IT ecosystem, joint ventures, R&D in AI, semiconductors, clean tech, and startups. 

It noted that the FTA diversifies markets for Indian IT exporters, providing a hedge especially at a time when US tariffs and geopolitical shocks have triggered a global trade turmoil, and India's $280-billion IT industry facing visa-related headwinds and macro uncertainties. Further, the Indian IT firms stand to gain from greater opportunities in Europe, including easier cross-border provision of services and potentially improved mobility for professionals.

While the goods see major tariff cuts in the FTA, Nasscom noted that services gains are more about opening markets and rules-based predictability. Under the FTA, EU could lower non-tariff barriers and ease cross-border delivery, giving Indian tech a better access to EU market. Besides, India and EU have agreed on a constructive framework to enable social security agreements in five years with all the EU member states. Nasscom highlighted that the deal supports job creation, MSME growth in tech, and overall confidence for investors in India's services sector. Moreover, the FTA includes dedicated SME chapters with contact points and digital platforms.
