Dear Sir/ Madam,

Hope you are doing well!

We are pleased to share with you our latest Newsflash on “India–UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) - A New Era of Bilateral Partnership” highlighting a significant development in international trade relations, i.e. conclusion of negotiations of the India–United Kingdom Free Trade Agreement (FTA) as announced on 6 May 2025.

This landmark agreement aims to significantly enhance bilateral trade, investment, and economic cooperation across key sectors including services, automotive components, gems & jewellery, pharmaceuticals, textiles, agriculture, and technology.

Alongside the FTA, both nations have also agreed to negotiate a Double Contributions Convention (DCC) to support more efficient and cost-effective cross-border employee mobility. The FTA is expected to augment the current bilateral trade volume of £43 billion by an additional £25.5 billion annually by 2040, with a goal to double overall trade by 2030.

This development is poised to open up significant opportunities for businesses engaged in cross-border operations between the two nations.
