India and EU say issues on steel, autos and carbon levy need further negotiation for their trade deal expected by end-2025.
European Commission and India’s Commerce Minister agreed that sectors such as steel, autos and the EU’s carbon-border levy remain sticking points in their ongoing free-trade agreement (FTA) negotiations. A technical team from the EU will visit India next week to address these issues ahead of a targeted deal conclusion by end-2025. Both sides affirmed commitment yet acknowledged regulatory, tariff and industrial policy challenges that must be resolved for a comprehensive pact.
