India to Cut Import Duty on Premium Cars, UK Official Says
India and the UK are making a trade deal!
India will lower the tax (import duty) on expensive cars from the UK.
This means the cars will cost less to import.
But, it's only for 'premium' cars, not all cars.
Electric vehicles are safe from this change.
Both countries are being careful about what they change to protect their own industries like dairy and sugar.
India agreed to reduce import duties on 'premium' cars.
Tariff reduction is from over 100% to 10%.
Electric vehicles are excluded from the duty reduction.
The agreement awaits approval from the British Parliament.
The UK official confirmed the agreement, including vehicle quota limits.
