India and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) have formalised a trade agreement that is set to open new avenues for Norwegian firms looking to invest in the Indian market.
The pact, which covers trade and investment provisions, is expected to streamline business operations and reduce barriers for companies from Norway and other EFTA member states.
By aligning regulatory frameworks and simplifying customs procedures, the agreement aims to encourage cross‑border investments and enhance economic ties between the two regions.
