🚀 TEPA Cleared for Takeoff – Launching October 2025! 🇨🇭🤝🇮🇳

As of midnight yesterday, the deadline for a referendum on the EFTA–India Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) passed without any opposition — signaling Switzerland’s tacit approval for this landmark agreement.

✅ With the Swiss Council of States (Dec 2024) and National Council (Mar 2025) already on board, TEPA now moves full speed ahead toward its official implementation in October 2025.

📍 Next Step: Formal ratification instruments will be deposited in Oslo, with Norway as the depositary state — marking the final procedural milestone before entry into force.

🌍 Why it matters: TEPA is more than a trade deal. It marks the beginning of a strategic partnership between India and Switzerland, unlocking long-term opportunities for exporters, SMEs, and investors, and reinforcing India’s position as a key investment destination.

The countdown has begun! ⏳
