India-EU FTA: Ferrari & Porsche Prices to Drop in India : Check Details
27 Jan 2026, 06:58 PM
- A quota of 2,50,000 vehicles a year will apply through the transition. The EU says this alone could reset India’s premium car market.
- The agreement also states that duties on auto components will be completely abolished after five to ten years.
- Only ICE-powered vehicles will benefit from the agreement first, while EVs will face similar tariff cuts after five years.
The landmark India-European Union Free Trade Agreement (FTA), officially concluded on January 27, 2026, is set to revolutionize the Indian automotive market. High-end European marques—including Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Rolls-Royce, and Bentley—are poised to become significantly more affordable.
This historic “Mother of all Deals” dismantles long-standing trade barriers, making European exotics accessible to a broader segment of Indian luxury car enthusiasts.
India will gradually cut tariffs on cars from 110 percent to as low as 10 percent as part of its new FTA with EU, and fully abolish duties on car parts within five to ten years.
Currently, the import duty levied by India on completely built-up (CBU) passenger vehicles is 110 percent for cars costing over $40,000, and 70 percent for cars costing up to $40,000.
