Will the India‑New Zealand Free Trade Agreement result in zero‑duty access for Indian exporters by 2026-12-19?
95%chance, per Kāla
Why
Base rate: Historically, new FTAs often grant zero‑duty access to the partner’s exports, but implementation can be delayed or limited by sensitive sectors, so a neutral prior might be around 0.6. Latest evidence: Multiple news reports from 19‑20 Oct 2026 state that the India‑New Zealand FTA came into force on 20 Oct 2026 and provides Indian exporters with 100 % duty‑free access to the New Zealand market, with no further conditions noted.
