India and the United Kingdom have signed a landmark Free Trade Agreement (FTA) projected to boost bilateral trade by over $34 billion annually.
The deal, finalized during Prime Minister Modi's visit to the UK, will eliminate or reduce tariffs on a wide range of goods, including cars, Scotch whisky, textiles, and agricultural products. It is expected to create thousands of jobs, attract billions in investment, and provide Indian exporters with a competitive edge in the UK market. While the agreement is hailed as a 'win-win' for both nations, some Indian industries have raised concerns about potential disadvantages, and public health advocates warn of possible negative impacts.
The FTA also sets a precedent for India's future trade negotiations with the EU and US.
