<h1>UK-India Trade Deal Cuts Tariffs on Scotch Whisky, Salmon, Cars, and Aerospace Boosting Jobs and Growth</h1> A newly signed UK-India Free Trade Agreement significantly benefits Scotland by reducing tariffs on key exports such as Scotch whisky, fisheries, luxury cars, and aerospace products, enhancing market access and creating thousands of jobs. The deal cuts whisky duties from 150% to 75% immediately and to 40% over ten years, opening India's large consumer base. Scottish salmon gains duty-free entry to India, while automotive and aerospace sectors benefit from lowered tariffs. The agreement also fosters green energy collaboration and facilitates Indian exports to the UK with zero tariffs on most goods. Challenges include potential impacts from Indian state excise policies, UK carbon border taxes, and data localization barriers affecting fintech. The agreement aims to boost Scottish GDP by £190 million and attract £6 billion in investments, promoting economic growth and bilateral cooperation between Scotland and India.
