India-U.K. Free Trade Agreement (FTA) is expected to boost trade and investment between the two countries.
The deal aims to help Indian companies access new markets and become more integrated into global supply chains.
Sectors set to benefit include textiles, leather, gems and jewellery, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and processed foods.
Industry bodies like CII, FIEO, and FICCI welcomed the agreement as a step toward reaching $100 billion in bilateral trade by 2030.
Companies like TVS Motor see this as an opportunity to expand globally, especially with their U.K.-based brand Norton.
The FTA is expected to reduce trade barriers, helping sectors like FMCG, healthcare, and innovation-based industries.
Textile industry, especially knitwear exporters from Tiruppur, expect a major boost, potentially more than doubling exports to the U.K.
Overall, the FTA is seen as a significant step toward economic growth and deeper strategic ties between India and the U.K.
