Dinesh Krishnan, Chairman, Southern Region, ACAAI, said, “The FTA will accelerate trade by 100 per cent duty-free access to Indian textiles, pharma, and engineering exports, in a small market crowded with imports from China and Australia. We expect a surge in logistics planning as businesses leverage these new margins and trade at both ends. While dairy remains protected, New Zealand’s $20 billion commitment will deepen services trade, driving the goal to double bilateral trade to $5 billion.”
