India and the United Kingdom have signed a landmark free trade agreement, hailed as a historic step in strengthening economic ties between the two nations.
The deal will significantly reduce tariffs on a wide range of goods, including textiles, whisky, cars, and pharmaceuticals, and is expected to boost bilateral trade by over $34 billion annually. Key sectors such as textiles, leather, seafood, and premium spirits are set to benefit, with Indian exports gaining a competitive edge in the UK market. The agreement also includes provisions for increased investment, job creation, and new visa routes, while addressing regulatory barriers and social security exemptions.
While the deal is seen as a win-win for both countries, some concerns remain over its impact on local industries and public health.
