The India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) comes into force today, giving nearly all Indian exports duty-free access to Britain. As part of the deal, India will also lower import duties on a range of British goods over a phased period.
The India-UK trade deal was signed in London on July 24, 2025 by Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal and UK Secretary of State for Business and Trade Jonathan Reynolds, in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer. It took effect nearly a year later, on July 15, 2026.
