UK and India Sign Free Trade Agreement During Modi’s Visit

During Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the UK, a landmark free trade agreement was signed between the UK and India, reducing tariffs on goods like textiles, whisky, cars, and spices while boosting market access. UK PM Keir Starmer called it the most significant post-Brexit trade deal, expected to add £4.8 billion annually to the UK economy. The two nations also announced £6 billion in trade and investment deals across sectors such as AI, aerospace, and dairy. Modi called the deal a "blueprint for shared prosperity." The leaders also discussed cooperation in defence, climate, and the recent Air India crash.
