  1. > Australia will provide duty-free access to 100% of Indian exports starting January 1, 2026, under the Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA), Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal announced on December 29, 2025. The announcement marks the third anniversary of the ECTA, which was implemented on December 29, 2022. India’s exports to Australia grew by 8% in 2024-25, with strong gains across manufacturing, chemicals, textiles, plastics, pharmaceuticals, petroleum products, and gems & jewellery. Agricultural exports also recorded broad-based growth, particularly in fruits and vegetables, marine products, spices, and coffee.The ECTA is an “early harvest” agreement covering select trade issues, while both countries continue negotiating a more comprehensive Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA). The tariff elimination is expected to benefit Indian exporters, MSMEs, farmers, and workers by delivering sustained export growth, deeper market access, and stronger supply-chain resilience.
