India-UK FTA: Game-Changing Trade Deal Signed
India and the UK made a new trade deal!
This means that most things India sells to the UK won't have extra taxes, making them cheaper.
The deal also lets UK companies sell more to India, but slowly, so it doesn't hurt Indian businesses too much.
This is expected to help both countries trade a lot more, and it was made to help Indian businesses and farmers by making sure things were fair.
It's like a special chance to grow and create jobs for both India and the UK.
India and the UK signed a Free Trade Agreement (FTA), described as game-changing by Union Minister Piyush Goyal.
The agreement ensures 99% of Indian exports to the UK will be duty-free, boosting trade.
The FTA aims to double bilateral trade to $120 billion by 2030.
India will reduce tariffs on 90% of UK exports, including automobiles and whisky.
The deal was negotiated on India's terms, protecting sensitive sectors and promoting Indian products.
