| Abstract: | Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) are central to India’s evolving trade strategy as it balances openness with protection. This paper examines the dual role of FTAs as both catalysts and constraints for India’s competitiveness. On one hand, FTAs expand market access, integrate India into global value chains, and enhance strategic leverage in the Indo-Pacific. On the other hand, past experiences highlight risks such as uneven sectoral gains, growing trade deficits, and structural inefficiencies at home. Drawing on case studies from India’s engagements with ASEAN, RCEP, UAE, and Australia, the paper argues that the success of FTAs depends on complementary domestic reforms in logistics, infrastructure, and policy. It concludes that FTAs are neither inherently beneficial nor harmful; their impact lies in design, negotiation, and implementation. For India, a selective, reform-driven approach is essential to transform FTAs into instruments of sustainable competitiveness. |
