Kolkata on Wednesday flagged off its first jewellery export consignment to the United Kingdom under the India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), marking the eastern city's entry into the first nationwide shipment following the implementation of the landmark free trade pact.
The consignment was dispatched from the Kolkata Air Cargo Complex as part of a nationwide jewellery shipment valued at $10 million, with similar flag-off events being held in Delhi, Mumbai, Surat, Jaipur and Chennai.
