|October 02, 2025
The free trade deal between India and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) - a bloc of four nations - has come into force, Union commerce minister Piyush Goyal said on Wednesday, adding that the FTA will further strengthen 'Make In India' by bringing with it investments of $100 billion and creating one million direct jobs.

This is perhaps the first free trade agreement (FTA) which has an investment commitment "to balance and make the two sides equitable", he said at the India-EFTA Prosperity Summit in New Delhi where officials and business persons of India and EFTA countries - Norway, Switzerland Iceland and Liechtenstein - were present.
His comments referred to the EFTA's investment commitment to make the trade deal equitable and a win-win for both sides. While India offered them access to its vast and growing market, relatively smaller in population and market-size, the four developed European nations reciprocated by offering a $100 billion investment commitment in India over 15 years.
