India and the United Kingdom have signed a landmark free trade agreement (FTA) during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the UK, marking one of the most significant post-Brexit trade deals for Britain.
The agreement will eliminate or reduce tariffs on a wide range of goods, including Scotch whisky, cars, textiles, and medical devices, making these products cheaper in both countries. The deal is expected to double bilateral trade to over $100 billion by 2030, create thousands of jobs, and attract billions in new investments. While the pact is celebrated as a major economic and diplomatic milestone, some UK industries, such as car manufacturers, expressed concerns about the timeline for tariff reductions.
The agreement also includes provisions for increased market access, skilled migration, and cooperation in sectors like technology and aerospace.
