What happened
India and Switzerland signed five agreements covering skilled mobility, transportation technologies, scientific research, and technology transfer. These agreements are designed to strengthen the economic partnership and support the India-EFTA Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA). Separately, trade ties with the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) have strengthened, with India's bilateral merchandise trade with Norway increasing 27.6 percent during November 2025–July 2026.
Why it matters
The agreements are expected to enhance market access for Indian exports in Switzerland and facilitate investment between the two nations. Under the TEPA, India aims to attract $100 billion in investment and create ten lakh direct jobs over the next 15 years.
