India and the United Kingdom have signed a landmark Free Trade Agreement (FTA) during Prime Minister Modi's visit to the UK, marking a major step forward in bilateral relations.
The deal is expected to boost annual trade by over $34 billion, cut tariffs on a wide range of goods including textiles, whisky, cars, and seafood, and create thousands of jobs in both countries. Key sectors such as textiles, leather, agriculture, and premium spirits stand to benefit, while the agreement also introduces new visa routes and investment opportunities. However, some concerns remain over public health, intellectual property, and the impact on local industries.
The FTA is seen as a post-Brexit win for the UK and signals India's growing openness to global trade partnerships.
