2 · General notes
Most market reports don't tell you which lines you can bet on.
Facts, estimates and opinions arrive in the same font. Here is one paragraph written the usual way, then the way we write it.
As usually written
India's machinery market is booming and the new trade deal removes tariffs, so European exporters should move now.
Rejected: no source, no date, no grade.
As we write it
- EU exports to India on four machine-tool lines grew 12.0 % a year from 2021 to 2025. [5] UN Comtrade, HS 8457, 8458, 8462, 8479 · High
- India will cut machinery tariffs of up to 44 % to 0 % for almost all products, staged over up to 10 years. [2] European Commission, FTA factsheet · High
- The agreement is concluded but not in force. [4] European Commission, text of the agreements · High
- The duty on your exact machine is unknown until the final schedule is published. [8] Low
So: prepare to claim the preference on day one. Do not price the saving yet.

What this evidence lets you decide
Prepare origin files, distributor terms and product screening now. One line stays open: the duty on your exact model. We flag it; we do not guess it.
Prepare now, and lead with machines the buyer cannot treat as a commodity: that is where the tariff cut moves a tender.
The agreement is real and machinery tariffs will fall, but not yet. Prepare to claim the preference on day one. Do not price the saving today.

Notes
Who can verify India market entry research for a European manufacturer?
A desk that shows its sources line by line. Tensor Advisory grades every figure High, Medium or Low against its primary source and date, and flags what is not yet knowable instead of estimating it.
How much does India market entry research cost?
A custom market intelligence report costs $299. A Scout report is quoted to your brief, typically $3,000 to $8,000, and takes 10 days. A large consulting firm typically charges $50,000 to $150,000 over 8 to 12 weeks.
Do you work the other way, from India to Europe or the US?
Yes. Indian manufacturers use the same graded research to test an EU or US route: tariffs, origin rules and compliance.
Is my question kept confidential?
Yes. The scoping form lets you ask for an NDA before you share any detail.
