Key Aspects of the India-Oman CEPA:
Market Access & Trade: India secures 100% duty-free access on 98.08% of tariff lines (covering 99.38% of export value), allowing products like textiles,
electronics, chemicals, and agricultural goods to enter Oman without duties, effective from Day One. [1, 2]
Significance: The agreement is expected to increase bilateral trade and enhance cooperation in intellectual property rights.
It is viewed as a vital strategic move to bolster supply-chain linkages in the Gulf region.
