Dipen Lalsodagar, Deputy Director Sales, Cargo, Global Aviation, said, “This agreement represents a pivotal transformation in bilateral ties, offering India significant advantages in labour-heavy industries, such as textiles, leather, and engineering. Beyond boosting exports, it secures duty-free access to essential manufacturing raw materials from New Zealand. The agreement sets a clear roadmap to double bilateral trade to US$ 5 billion within five years — with a long-term target of US$ 20 billion — bolstered by New Zealand’s commitment to invest USD 20 billion over the next 15 years.”
