Domestic carmakers are preparing to accelerate their electric vehicle ambitions in the United Kingdom, buoyed by the opportunities opened up under the India-UK free trade agreement that will allow duty-free exports of locally manufactured EVs under a phased quota system, according to a PTI report.
Automakers including Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra & Mahindra and Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles have welcomed the provisions of the trade pact, viewing it as a gateway for expanding the global footprint of India-made electric vehicles in one of Europe's key right-hand-drive markets.
