India and Canada are moving fast on a big trade deal called the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA).
Three chapters are already wrapped up, and talks on 16 more are in progress.
Both countries want to seal the deal by December 2026, after restarting negotiations earlier this year during Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to India.
CEPA targets $50 billion in trade
The CEPA aims to boost trade between the two countries from $7.95 billion now to $50 billion by 2030.
It covers goods, services, and investments, and critical minerals and energy security are important bilateral cooperation areas.
The agreement also looks to deepen ties between the two countries, helping both sides grow their economies.
