India, UK Ink FTA, Reduce Tariffs, and Boost Bilateral Trade
India and the UK made a deal to make it easier to buy and sell things between them.
This means that products like clothes, cars, and whisky will be cheaper for people to buy.
The deal will also create more jobs and business opportunities.
The stock market went down a bit on the same day, possibly because of some investors taking profits.
India and the UK signed a free trade agreement (FTA) to reduce tariffs and boost trade.
The deal aims to eliminate tariffs on nearly 99% of Indian exports to the UK.
British consumers will see lower prices on goods like whisky and cars.
The agreement is expected to increase bilateral trade by approximately $34 billion annually.
The Sensex fell 542 points on Thursday amid profit-taking and foreign fund outflows.
