Yaar, India aur European Union ke beech jo naya free trade agreement sign hua hai na, wo apne automotive sector ko poori tarah se badal dega aur global supply chains mein India ki entry ko aur strong karega. Ye deal agle saal se implement ho sakti hai, aur ismein auto jaisi sensitive cheezon ko lekar gradual duty reduction aur quota-based concessions milenge, taaki hamari domestic industry ko koi nuksaan na ho.
Investment aur Manufacturing mein Tezi aayegi?
Ek senior government official ne bataya ki, Additional Secretary Darpan Jain ne kaha hai ki ye deal India mein aur zyada investment laane ke liye design ki gayi hai. Isse automobile production badhega aur third countries mein exports bhi boost honge. Ye ek strategic move hai jisse India, EU ke manufacturing ecosystem mein ek important player ban sakega. European cars par duty 110% se kam hokar 10% ho jayegi, woh bhi saal mein 2,50,000 gaadiyon ke liye. Isse Indians ko European cars kam price mein milengi aur zyada options bhi honge.
Social Security Agreements se Mobility Aasan
Trade ke alawa, ye pact EU member states ke saath Social Security Agreements (SSAs) par bhi focus karta hai. India ki already 14 EU nations ke saath aise pacts hain, aur 7 aur ke liye baat chal rahi hai, plus 6 aur sign karne ki planning hai. Ye SSAs un Indian professionals ke liye bahut important hain jo temporary Europe mein kaam karte hain. Isse unko double social security contribution nahi dena padega aur benefits bhi easily mil jayenge. Isse labor mobility smooth hogi aur EU mein kaam karne wale Indians ko bhi support milega.
Exporters ko Fayda aur Trade Volume
EU ke paas 40 se zyada free trade agreements hain jo 70 countries ko cover karte hain. Toh Indian exporters ko is bade network ka fayda milega. EU, India ke total merchandise trade ka lagbhag 12% hai. FICCI jaise industry bodies zor de rahe hain ki is agreement ka fayda exporters, khaas kar small aur medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) aur service providers ko milna chahiye. Ye ek comprehensive approach hai jisse naye opportunities unlock hongi aur India ki international trade mein position aur strong hogi.
