India-EU Pact Could Put Luxury Cars In The Fast Lane For Buyers

Luxury car enthusiasts in India may soon rejoice as the government moves closer to sealing a landmark trade agreement with the European Union. Dubbed the “Mother of all deals,” the pact is expected to lower import tariffs on high-end automobiles, including Mercedes-Benz and BMW models, which currently face steep duties.  

The deal aims to strengthen bilateral trade ties while making luxury cars more accessible to Indian buyers. Industry experts believe reduced prices could expand the market for premium vehicles, encouraging global automakers to invest further in India. The agreement also aligns with India’s broader strategy to integrate with global supply chains and attract foreign investment.  

While negotiations are ongoing, the potential impact is already generating excitement among consumers and automakers alike. Analysts caution, however, that the final terms will determine the extent of price reductions and the long-term benefits for the industry.
