India–Austria Business Forum Strengthens Bilateral Cooperation in Trade and Investment

• India–Austria Business Forum (April 2026) convened at Vanijya Bhawan, New Delhi, on the sidelines of the first official visit by an Austrian Chancellor (Dr. Christian Stocker) to India in over four decades.
• A bilateral Fast-Track Mechanism (FTM) was signed and operationalised to facilitate two-way investment and dispute resolution.
• Important for UPSC because it illustrates India's deepening engagement with EU member states under the larger India–EU FTA trajectory, and offers fresh terminology (FTM, Migration & Mobility Agreement).
