India‑UK CETA opens duty‑free export lanes and services market
From July 15, India’s CETA with the UK grants duty‑free access to 99.5% of export value, covering engineering, textiles, leather, gems and more. The pact also opens 137 services sub‑sectors to Indian firms and professionals, aiming to lift bilateral trade to $100 bn by 2030. Gains hinge on how quickly firms can navigate the new rules.
