    Bilateral Investment Agreement between India and Israel comes into force

    In Short এক নজরে

    What happened

    India and Israel’s Bilateral Investment Agreement (BIA) came into force on July 4, 2026.

    Where did it happen

    The agreement was signed in New Delhi on September 8, 2025, and entered into effect between the two countries from New Delhi on July 4, 2026.

    Why this is important

    The BIA modernises investment protections, aims to boost cross‑border investment and investor confidence, and preserves sovereign policy space for legitimate public policy measures.

    Main points to remember

    • The BIA replaces the earlier 1996 framework between India and Israel.
    • It is expected to deepen economic ties and increase bilateral investment flows.
    • The treaty balances investor protection with tighter dispute‑settlement and policy‑space provisions.
