‘FTA positions India as reliable trade partner in post-Brexit global order’

CK Govil, President, The Air Cargo Agents Association of India (ACAAI) said, “The India-UK FTA is poised to significantly boost the Indian EXIM trade and cargo industry by reducing tariffs, enhancing market access and streamlining customs procedures. It will open new opportunities for Indian exporters, particularly in textiles, pharmaceuticals and engineering goods, while encouraging UK investment in Indian logistics and infrastructure. The agreement also promises mutual recognition of standards, which will reduce delays and compliance costs. Overall, it strengthens bilateral supply chains and positions India as a reliable trade partner in the post-Brexit global order—bringing a positive ripple effect for air and ocean cargo movements.”
