India's ongoing negotiations with the United Kingdom on a Free Trade Agreement (FTA)

India's ongoing negotiations with the United Kingdom on a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) are poised to usher in a new era of trade relations. While the FTA's impact on merchandise goods might be limited, certain sectors like textiles, apparel, footwear, and more could reap benefits from reduced tariffs. It's not just about exports; the FTA can facilitate 'Make in India' and open doors for strategic partnerships in sectors like defence, cybersecurity, R&D, and healthcare, where the UK has a strong presence.
Furthermore, this agreement has the potential to stimulate large-scale employment in sectors like textiles, leather goods, and footwear. India's tech prowess can flourish in the UK market, benefiting startups and mid-sized companies. The removal of tariffs could intensify competition in industries such as automobiles and pharmaceuticals.
Notably, strengthening ties with the UK, a permanent member of the UN Security Council, could hold geopolitical significance and further India's aspirations on the global stage. In a world where FTAs are pivotal, India continues to make strides with preferential access in 54 countries and multiple trade agreements.
