The India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), one of New Delhi's most significant free trade pacts in recent years, comes into force on July 15, 2026, opening up duty-free access for nearly 99% of Indian exports to the British market while easing tariffs on several UK goods entering India.
Signed on July 25, 2025, after years of negotiations, the pact is the sixth free trade agreement to be implemented under the Narendra Modi government, following similar agreements with Mauritius, the UAE, Australia, the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and Oman.
