India-UK Trade Deal to Boost Textile Exports
India and the UK have a new trade deal called CETA.
This deal makes it easier for India to sell technical textiles (like special fabrics) to the UK without paying taxes.
This means India can sell more of these textiles to the UK, potentially earning over a billion dollars by 2030.
Special types of textiles, such as those used in farming and homes, are expected to grow.
The agreement helps Indian companies compete with others in the UK.
Matexil, an export promotion council, is helping businesses to understand the UK market and regulations.
India-UK Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) expected to boost technical textile exports.
The agreement offers 100% duty-free market access for Indian exports to the UK.
India can potentially increase technical textile exports from $240 million to over $1 billion by 2030.
Key sub-segments like agrotech, geotech, and hometech are poised for growth.
