Starmer Hails Major Win with FTA During Modi’s Visit
London: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, tariff cuts, clothes, shoes and food products on cheaper prices, because the Indian colleague is preparing to sign with his colleague Narendra Modi “turning point” Free Trade Agreement (FTA), a “great gain” for business and growth, he said.
In a statement made before the bilateral negotiations with Modi with Modi on Thursday with Modi and Modi, Starmer also announced about 6 billion GBP of new investment and export developments as he secured his new business opportunities in India.
Leaders are also preparing to sign a renewed and strategic partnership that will cooperate closer to defense, education, climate, technology and innovation.

“We put more money in the pockets of the hardworking British and help families with the cost of living and we are determined to go faster and faster to increase the economy and increase the living standards throughout England.” He said.
According to the UK Ministry of Business and Trade (DBT), India’s average tariff on the UK products will fall from 15 percent to 3 percent after entering into force FTA. This means that British companies that sell products to India from non -alcoholic beverages and cosmetics to cars and medical devices will be easier to sell to the Indian market.
Whiskey manufacturers will benefit from the halved tariffs, will drop from 150 percent to 75 percent immediately, and in the next 10 years, the DBT will fall further to 40 percent, and DBT will provide England an advantage over international competitors in reaching the Indian market.
“Billions of Billions brought to our economy from the trade agreement signed today will reach all regions and nations of the UK, so that people working in every community can feel the benefits.” He said.
“Almost 6 billion GBP new investment and export win will offer thousands of jobs and will show the power of our partnership with the UK, because we ensure that England is the best place in the world to invest and do business.” He said.
Official statistics show that Britain imports 11 billion GBP from India and is set to make free -of -free tariffs to make products easier and cheaper. For businesses, this may mean potential savings when importing components and materials used in areas such as advanced production or luxury and consumer goods.
The new analysis, published with FTA, claims that every region of the UK will benefit from an estimated GBP 4.8 billion GBP increase in the GDP every year in the long run. Spot -light sectors include a aviation and space cuts in space (11 percent to 0), automotives (up to 10 percent under a quota) and electric machines (less than 22 percent).
With a decrease in regulatory obstacles for bilateral trade, DBT is estimated to have a decrease in barriers to bilateral trade in 2040 when the projections of the future trade is applied to the export of 15.7 billion Britain to India, which is equivalent to the export of England, which is equivalent to 60 percent in the long term.
Official figures estimate an increase of approximately 39 percent in the long term, which is equivalent to 25.5 billion GBP per year, compared to 2040 trade levels in the absence of an agreement in bilateral trade.
The clean energy industry will have a “brand new, unprecedented access” to India’s wide supply market while the country is switching to renewable energy and continues to see increased energy demand.
