"The India–UK Free Trade Agreement stands as a landmark initiative in shaping a more dynamic and equitable global trade architecture. Hon’ble Minister Piyush Goyal’s visit to London and his strategic dialogues with British leadership reflect India’s resolute commitment to expanding its global economic footprint while advancing the interests of labour-intensive and high-growth sectors.

This proposed FTA goes beyond tariff reductions—it seeks to build a forward-looking partnership rooted in shared prosperity, trust, and innovation. The removal of duties on key Indian exports such as apparel, leather, and footwear, alongside smoother access to UK products, lays the foundation for a more balanced and mutually enriching trade relationship.
The goal of doubling bilateral trade to USD 120 billion by 2030 is a compelling vision—one that can drive job creation, investment, and long-term industrial competitiveness.
This is a defining moment, and it deserves the collective resolve of industry, policymakers, and global stakeholders to translate intent into transformative outcomes."
