British carmakers have moved quickly to pass on tariff benefits from the India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), which came into effect on Wednesday, while price cuts on Scotch whisky and gin will take longer to reach consumers, according to a report by The Times of India by Aabhas Sharma & Sidhartha.
CETA was signed in London on 24 July 2025 and came into force on July 15, 2026, becoming the sixth free trade agreement implemented by the Narendra Modi government, following pacts with Mauritius, UAE, Australia, EFTA, and Oman.
