<h1>India-UAE CEPA to Boost MSMEs and Labor-Intensive Sectors, Aiming for 1 Million Jobs and $100 Billion Trade.</h1> The India-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) is expected to significantly benefit Indian industries, particularly MSMEs, start-ups, and labor-intensive sectors like textiles, gems and jewelry, leather goods, and food processing. The agreement, which will come into effect by early May, aims to create one million jobs in India and provide zero-duty access to 90% of Indian exports to the UAE. It also allows automatic registration of Indian generic medicines in 90 days. The CEPA will enhance India's market access and competitiveness, with bilateral trade expected to reach $100 billion in five years. A similar agreement with the Gulf Cooperation Council is being pursued.
