Education Boost: Indian students in Australia stand to gain from relaxed visa rules and enhanced academic mobility.
Investment & Jobs: The deal is expected to stimulate exports, create new job opportunities, and attract fresh investments on both sides.
Strategic Positioning: Experts say the FTA is part of India’s broader push to diversify trade partners and reduce reliance on a handful of large economies.
