The deal covers big\u2011ticket areas such as aircraft, machinery, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food items, and alcoholic drinks, so European companies will find it far cheaper to sell in India.<\/p>\n<p>On the aircraft and aerospace side, almost all tariffs on EU\u2011made planes, aircraft parts, and spacecraft will be eliminated, which will make it easier for Indian airlines and defence buyers to source equipment from Europe. Machinery imports from the EU will also become cheaper because duties that once ran as high as 44% are now mostly phased out, opening doors for German and other European industrial gear in sectors like auto, steel, and power.<\/p>\n<p>Alcohol and food tariffs will soften a lot, with beer duties cut to around 50%, spirits to about 40%, and wine to 20\u201330%, while items like olive oil, margarine, fruit juices and many processed foods will see tariffs removed. Alongside trade, the EU is planning to give India around 500 million euros over two years to support climate\u2011friendly projects and emissions\u2011cutting efforts, so this is not just a market\u2011access deal but also part of a broader India\u2011EU climate and technology partnership.<\/p>\n<p><!-- mw-cta-block --><\/p>\n<div class=\"mw-cta-block\" style=\"background:#EEF3FC;border-left:5px solid #1C52A0;padding:22px 26px 20px;margin:36px 0 24px;border-radius:0 10px 10px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 4px;font-size:11px;font-weight:700;color:#276FC4;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;\">Maxiom Wealth \u2014 Free Tool<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-size:19px;font-weight:700;color:#113E81;line-height:1.3;\">Is a Home Loan the Right Move for You?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 18px;color:#444;font-size:15px;line-height:1.65;\">Calculate your exact EMI, check your loan eligibility, and compare rental yield vs ownership cost \u2014 before making one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top:1.5em;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/maxiomwealth.com\/resources\/calculators\/rental-yield\">Calculate your Rental Yield &rarr;<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>  <a href=\"https:\/\/maxiomwealth.com\/resources\/calculators\/home-loan-emi\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#1C52A0;color:#fff!important;padding:11px 22px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;margin:0 10px 8px 0;\">Home Loan EMI Calculator \u2192<\/a><br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/maxiomwealth.com\/meeting\" style=\"display:inline-block;border:2px solid #1C52A0;color:#1C52A0!important;padding:9px 22px;border-radius:6px;text-decoration:none;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;margin-bottom:8px;\">Talk to a Financial Advisor<\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The India\u2011EU free trade agreement is being called a \u201cmother of all deals\u201d because it cuts duties on more than 90% of EU goods entering India and aims to almost double European exports to India by 2032.
