Terms of Reference Signed for India–Canada Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement

• India–Canada CEPA Terms of Reference (ToR) signed on 2 March 2026 at Hyderabad House, New Delhi — formal launch of negotiations for a bilateral free-trade pact covering goods, services and other policy areas.
• Headline ambition: lift bilateral trade to US$ 50 billion by 2030.
• Examinable as a high-priority GS-II (India–Canada relations) and GS-III (external sector / FTAs) topic, with strong overlap with India's wider FTA strategy (UAE, Australia, EFTA, UK).
