New Business Support Desk to help EFTA companies Make the Most of TEPA

EFTA and India have taken a significant step towards deepening their economic engagement with the launch of the EFTA Desk by Invest India on 10 February 2025.

This dedicated resource is designed to help companies from the EFTA States navigate the Indian market, build connections and prepare for the opportunities unlocked by the EFTA–India Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) signed on 10 March 2024.

While the TEPA has yet to formally enter into force, businesses across the four EFTA States – Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland – are actively preparing for the new trade conditions, exploring investment opportunities and strengthening commercial ties with Indian partners. The EFTA Desk will play a key role in this process by providing practical support to companies from the EFTA States navigating the Indian market, facilitating partnerships and enhancing trade cooperation.

The EFTA Desk will serve as a central point of contact for businesses looking to expand into India, addressing investor concerns and resolving any issues they may face, providing support and guidance on expansion into new markets and maintaining a comprehensive database of investment opportunities, to name a few of the key services offered.
