Nordic Deshon Ke Saath Rishte Mazboot
India ab Nordic deshon ke saath apne strategic aur economic rishte aur mazboot kar raha hai. Iceland ki renewable energy aur blue economy mein jo expertise hai, uska faayda uthane ki koshish hai. India-Nordic Summit mein climate action aur technological innovation ko aage badhane ka commitment dikhaya gaya hai.
Geothermal Energy aur Blue Economy Mein Partnership
PM Narendra Modi aur Iceland ki PM Kristrún Frostadóttir India-Nordic Summit mein mile. Unhone clean energy aur blue economy mein collaboration badhane par focus kiya. Geothermal energy ka use, carbon capture, aur storage technologies par discuss hua. Iceland ki blue economy mein jo strength hai, usse kafi fayda milne ki ummeed hai. India-EFTA Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) se bilateral trade aur investment mein kafi growth hone ki aasha hai. India Himachal Pradesh jaise projects mein geothermal exploration bhi kar raha hai aur cooling ke liye bhi geothermal heat use karne ka soch raha hai. India-Iceland SITE Network, jo October 2025 mein bana tha, woh Iceland ki renewable energy systems ko India ki implementation capabilities ke saath jod kar support karta hai.
India-EFTA Trade Pact Ka Faayda
India-EFTA Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA), jo 1 October, 2025 se effective hai, India aur EFTA deshon ke beech badhte economic rishton ka main hissa hai. 16 saal ki negotiations ke baad final hue is agreement ka aim hai ki zyadaatar goods par tariffs khatam ho jayein aur services aur investment mein trade open ho. EFTA deshon ne agle 15 saalon mein India mein US$100 billion invest karne ka vaada kiya hai, jisse 1 million jobs create hone ka target hai. Ye pact India se pharmaceuticals, textiles, aur machinery sectors mein exports badhane mein madad karega, jabki EFTA nations ko Swiss cheese aur chocolates jaise products ke liye better access milega. Ye agreement 14 chapters mein divide hai, jisme intellectual property, sustainable development, aur dispute resolution shamil hain. Iska implementation 3rd India-Nordic Summit mein ek important topic hai, jo future economic collaboration ke liye iski importance batata hai.
Aane Wali Challenges
India-EFTA TEPA se milne wale maukon ke bawajood, kuch challenges bhi hain. EFTA deshon ke saath India ka existing trade deficit, jo Switzerland se gold imports ki wajah se hai, abhi bhi ek factor hai. Jabki agreement India ke exports ko badhane ki koshish karta hai, gold imports par country ki dependence bani hui hai aur usse related duties par pact ka zyada asar nahi hai. Iske alawa, EFTA deshon se projected US$100 billion FDI achieve karna India mein sustained economic reforms aur ek stable global economic environment par depend karta hai, jisme external shocks ka impact ho sakta hai. Char EFTA deshon ke alag-alag regulatory frameworks ko navigate karne ke liye Indian businesses ko thorough due diligence ki zaroorat hogi. Additionally, pharmaceuticals aur machinery jaise specific trade sectors par zyada focus rakhne se dono economies demand fluctuations ke liye exposed ho sakti hain.
