Following the political conclusion of the EU-India Free Trade Agreement in January 2026, GraySpace Consulting prepared a short executive note outlining what this development means in practical terms for companies operating in the space and satellite sector. The note explains why, even without space-specific market access provisions, the FTA is still important for satellite and space-enabled businesses because it strengthens the broader services, regulatory, mobility, and investment environment in which they operate.
The note also highlights the practical implications for areas such as LEO satcom, Earth observation, GNSS and positioning services, ground infrastructure, and emerging in-orbit commercial activities, while also flagging the phased tariff changes relevant to the aircraft and space sector under the FTA framework.
