India–Switzerland Relations Enter a New Phase

India and Switzerland have moved well beyond traditional cooperation, now working closely on trade, investment, science, technology, defence, and culture.

The landmark India–EFTA Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA), effective from 1 October 2025, is a game-changer:

Brings Switzerland (with Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) into a deeper economic partnership with India

Commits USD 100 billion of EFTA investment in India over 15 years, aiming to create 1 million direct jobs

Gives Swiss industry better access to India, while Indian exporters gain preferential access to EFTA markets covering over 99% of India’s exports

Supports joint research, innovation, advanced tech, and university collaboration, including the new Indo-Swiss Research Framework (ISRF)

For Indian MSMEs and exporters, this is a strong signal: if you can meet EFTA quality and compliance standards, you’re ready for the world.

A great moment to explore Swiss and EFTA buyers, technology partnerships, and value-chain opportunities.
