The trade agreement between India and the United Kingdom, signed last year, comes into effect from today. Officials expect the pact to expand bilateral trade, investment flows and industrial cooperation.
In a statement, the Union Ministry of Commerce said the agreement was signed on July 25, 2025, after multiple rounds of negotiations. Under the deal, both countries have agreed to gradually reduce or remove customs duties on a range of goods.
The ministry said the move is expected to create greater opportunities for exports from India, including textiles, leather products, pharmaceuticals, jewellery and food items.
The agreement is also expected to encourage fresh investments, generate employment and support industrial growth, the statement added.
