<strong>As the recently inked Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between India and UAE kicked off from May 1, New Delhi is looking to significantly expand its exports horizon in the region amid rising global uncertainties. The pact was signed in February. India and UAE concluded negotiations in a record 88-day period. Ninety per cent of the products exported from India to UAE now attract zero duty.</strong></p>

India after pulling out of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), is now aggressively looking for going ahead with free trade agreements with several partners— bilateral as well as regional. India&rsquo;s exports in the previous fiscal year touched $418 billion.
