The India-Oman Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) is set to commence on June 1, 2026, allowing zero-duty access for a broad spectrum of Indian exports. The Finance Ministry's notification outlines that Oman will grant zero-duty access on 98.08% of its tariff lines, which encompasses 99.38% of India's current exports to Oman by value. Key sectors benefiting from this agreement include textiles, pharmaceuticals, and engineering goods. Conversely, India will liberalize tariffs on 77.79% of its tariff lines, covering 94.81% of imports from Oman. However, sensitive products like dairy and certain agricultural items are excluded from these concessions. The CEPA also features a robust services chapter, expanding opportunities for Indian service providers in Oman, which has a global services import market of approximately $12.52 billion. Notably, the agreement introduces enhanced mobility provisions for Indian professionals, allowing longer stays and increased quotas for skilled workers across various sectors. This CEPA is part of India's broader strategy to diversify its trade partnerships amid shifting global economic conditions.
