India is poised to implement three to four significant trade agreements in 2024, alongside two to three additional free trade agreements (FTAs) expected to be operational within the next six months, as stated by Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal. During the Citi India Conference 2026, Goyal highlighted that all nine recently concluded FTAs are anticipated to be operational within the next nine to ten months. He noted that the India-Oman FTA commenced on June 1, 2023, while ongoing negotiations with the United States and the European Union are nearing completion. Goyal emphasized that these FTAs are crucial for enhancing market access, facilitating trade, and attracting investments, particularly in innovation-led sectors. He urged investors to commit long-term capital to support India's transition towards advanced technologies. Furthermore, Goyal reaffirmed India's resilience in managing global crises, including energy supply disruptions, while ensuring stable prices for essential commodities like fuel and fertilizers.
