Rajen Bhatia, Managing Director, Tulsidas Khimji, said, “The India–New Zealand FTA may unlock niche but high-value trade rather than large volumes immediately. Sectors, such as dairy alternatives, wine, education services, and agri-tech collaboration could see early traction. For India, exports in pharma, textiles, and engineering goods may gradually rise. Geographic distance and logistics costs will moderate pace, making this a steady, relationship-driven growth story rather than a rapid trade surge in the near term.”
