29 Jan 2026 CW Team

Kings Infra Ventures Limited, a sustainable aquaculture and marine exports company, has welcomed the signing of the India–EU Trade Agreement, calling it a landmark move that strengthens Indian businesses’ access to one of the world’s most premium seafood markets.

The agreement comes at a strategic juncture for Kings Infra, which has outlined a comprehensive global expansion roadmap. The FTA offers preferential access covering 100 per cent of trade value, with tariff reductions of up to 26 per cent expected to unlock significant opportunities in the EU marine market.

Enhanced market access is set to improve the competitiveness of Indian marine exports, while supporting India’s marine export base to the EU, currently valued at Rs 8,715 crore (USD 1 billion). The agreement is expected to accelerate exports of shrimp, frozen fish and value-added seafood, while strengthening coastal livelihoods and India’s blue economy.

Kings Infra already has established business relationships across key European markets and is supported by a dedicated Business Development Advisor based in Spain to expand its footprint across the European Union.

Alongside the India–UK FTA signed in July 2025, the India–EU agreement represents a transformative shift for the Indian seafood industry. Together, the EU and UK markets significantly enhance volume potential and margin opportunities, creating a trade corridor comparable in scale to the US market.

The company’s global strategy focuses on market diversification, technology integration, and a strong commitment to quality and sustainability, positioning it for deeper international presence and long-term value creation.
