The Union government on Wednesday flagged off the first export consignments to the United Kingdom from Hyderabad, formally marking the operational rollout of the India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), under which a wide range of Indian products will now enjoy zero-duty access to the British market.
The Department of Commerce organised the flag-off ceremony to commemorate the agreement coming into force. Telangana Special Secretary Krishna Aditya inaugurated the event in the presence of National Turmeric Board Director Bhavani Sri, Additional Director General of Foreign Trade (Telangana) Sampath Kumar and other senior officials.
