‘FTA will boost export-led growth, customs processes’

Reema Jogani, Chairperson, AITWA shares, “The India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) promises a major boost for Indian exports and global trade presence. By reducing tariffs on key sectors like textiles, pharma and gems, it makes Indian products more competitive in the UK. It also opens new opportunities for services such as IT and healthcare. Simplified trade processes and better customs cooperation will ease cross-border movement, especially benefiting MSMEs. The FTA is expected to attract UK investments into India’s infrastructure and green sectors. Overall, it helps India diversify trade partnerships, support local industries, and strengthen its export-led growth, aligning with the broader vision of “Make in India.”
