India and the UK finalized a landmark trade deal on May 6, 2025, following three years of intense negotiations. The multi-billion-pound agreement, which reduces tariffs on 90 percent of traded goods, aims to bolster both economies amid the ongoing global trade challenges.

The much-anticipated and finalized India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) holds the potential to redefine trade relations between two major global economies. This comprehensive deal is expected to have far-reaching implications across industries, covering tariff liberalization, services trade, investment facilitation, intellectual property rights, digital trade, and sustainable development.
