<h1>Legally binding investment commitment spurs FTA-driven investment and enhanced market access while preserving sensitive sector protections.</h1> The India-EFTA TEPA embeds a legally binding investment commitment within an FTA, paired with a safeguard clause allowing India to claw back FTA benefits if investment pledges are unmet. The agreement furnishes near-complete services market access across EFTA parties, enables technology collaboration and capacity building, and maintains protections for sensitive sectors such as agriculture and dairy. A dedicated FTA facilitation desk and stakeholder engagement are promoted to convert treaty commitments into investment, trade and employment outcomes.
