India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (India-UK CETA)

On 6 May 2025, the Prime Ministers of India and the UK finalized a landmark Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), described by the Government of India as “a historic and ambitious deal to boost jobs, exports, and national growth.” The agreement was formally signed on 24 July 2025, with official documents covering 29 chapters released to the public (available at https://www.commerce.gov.in/international-trade/trade-agreements/india-united-kingdom-comprehensive-economic-and-trade-agreement). 

The CETA eliminates or reduces tariffs on a vast majority of Indian and UK tariff lines, covering nearly all trade value, with reductions phased in over time.
