In the Modi era, March 2016 has seen as an important mark in India’s relationship with the European Union with the summit held in Brussels where both the EU leaders and India’s Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi showed their commitment to reinvigorate the relations by focusing on a variety of old and new issues. In the month of June 2022, India resumed negotiations with the 27-nation bloc on the long-awaited FTA, which includes agreements on trade, investments, and Geographical Indications, after an absence of more than eight years (GI). This round completed on July 1, and the next round is scheduled to begin in September in Brussels. The parties seek "broad-based, balanced, and exhaustive" negotiations "based on the principles of justice and reciprocity." In this light the paper attempts to explain the trajectories of India-EU relations, its changing contours and commitments in respect to the contemporary global scenario. Also, it will focus on the challenges they need to concentrate on in terms of achieving the desired developmental goals.
