The European Union (EU) and India have concluded a Connectivity Partnership with a goal to collaborate on supporting resilient and sustainable connectivity both in India and in third countries and regions, including Africa, Central Asia, and the Indo-Pacific. The Partnership covers cooperation in the digital, energy, transport, and people-to-people sectors. The special attention goes to supporting the twin digital and green transitions, adherence to and development of international standards, as well as the shared norms and values of social, environmental, economic, and fiscal sustainability and level playing field.

The EU-India Connectivity Partnership is the second such partnership and it aims at pooling resources, norms, and expertise to serve the needs of the next generation of sustainable and quality infrastructure. It includes joint work on standards and the regulatory environment, as well as on concrete infrastructure projects. In addition, the Partnership provides a platform to build on the many already ongoing projects between EU and Indian public and private actors and also proposes new activities in all sectors.
