IN CASE NEW ZEALAND'S investment commitment of $20 billion is not met, then India will have the option to reverse the concessions.

It is the second FTA where India has secured investment commitment after the first one with European Free Trade Association (EFTA).New Zealand maintains tariffs of around 10% in 450 lines of key Indian exports like textiles & apparel, leather, ceramics, auto and auto components. Its market access offer covers immediate elimination of duties on 100% of 8,284 tariff lines from the day of entry into force.

This market access enhances the competitiveness of India’s labour-intensive sectors including textiles, apparel, leather, footwear, marine products, gems and jewellery, handicrafts, engineering goods and automobiles.
