<h1>India-UK Free Trade Agreement to Remove Tariffs on 99% of Indian Exports Under Section 2</h1> The Prime Minister of India commenced a two-day visit to the UK focused on strengthening bilateral relations in defence, trade, and technology. A key development is the anticipated signing of a comprehensive India-UK free trade agreement (FTA), which will eliminate tariffs on approximately 99% of Indian exports and facilitate UK exports including whisky and automobiles. The FTA, finalized after three years of negotiations, aims to enhance market access and boost trade between the countries. Additionally, a social security agreement exempts Indian employers from UK social security contributions. The visit includes high-level discussions with the British Prime Minister and meetings with other officials, underscoring the strategic partnership and economic collaboration between the two nations. The bilateral trade currently exceeds USD 55 billion, with significant mutual investments and employment generated by Indian companies in the UK.
