India‑UK trade pact opens duty‑free path for Indian textiles, footwear and more
From July 15, the India‑UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement eliminates tariffs on 99% of Indian exports, giving labour‑intensive goods like textiles, footwear and marine products duty‑free entry into the UK. The shift levels the playing field against China and may double bilateral trade to $100 billion by 2030.
