India–EU FTA & India–EFTA TEPA DEALS

Two Trade Agreements.
Real Duty Savings for
European Buyers.

Two live trade agreements now create a structural landed-cost advantage for European manufacturers sourcing precision castings and machined components from India. The window to act before competitors do is open now.

The India–EU Free Trade Agreement creates preferential duty rates on castings, machined shafts, gears, and bearing housings exported from India to EU member states including Germany, France, and Italy

European mid-market OEMs in motors, hydraulics, pumps, and off-highway equipment are the primary beneficiaries — these are exactly the part categories Synergy Spark manufactures

Local European foundries are capacity-constrained and expensive. China sourcing carries growing geopolitical risk. The India-EU FTA makes India the most commercially and structurally sound alternative

We calculate the exact duty saving for your specific HS codes and include this in every RFQ — the landed cost comparison between your current source and India speaks for itself

The India–EFTA Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) entered into force on 1 October 2025, covering Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein

Swiss and Norwegian industrial buyers of castings, machined gears, and precision components can now benefit from preferential duty treatment on imports from India — a structural change that came into effect less than one year ago

Switzerland's precision machinery and watchmaking-adjacent industrial sector, and Norway's oil and gas equipment and marine sectors, are primary buyers of the precision components Synergy Spark supplies

Most Swiss and Norwegian procurement teams are unaware that the TEPA is now in force. Early movers gain a competitive sourcing advantage before this becomes standard knowledge in their supply chain
