India, EAEU Poised for Next FTA Talks in Moscow in June

The planned round is expected to focus on regulatory hurdles that limit Indian small-business access to EAEU markets.

Overview

  • Indian officials say the next India–Eurasian Economic Union free trade talks are planned for June in Moscow.
  • Negotiators expect to tackle non-trade measures such as product standards, testing rules, and customs procedures that slow market entry.
  • The sides set an 18-month work plan on August 20, 2025, and held a first round in India in November 2025.
  • Trade with Russia dominates India’s EAEU commerce, with 2024–25 totals at USD 68.72 billion, including USD 4.88 billion in exports and USD 63.84 billion in oil-led imports.
  • In parallel, an Oman team is likely to visit India next month to discuss how to implement the bilateral trade pact signed in December 2025.
