India and the UK will restart free trade negotiations after a pause linked to both countries' general elections. The UK trade secretary sees a deal as essential for growth, especially as India is projected to be a significant economic player soon. Key issues include high tariffs on specific products and the demand for relaxed visa rules for Indian professionals. The talks are timely given recent tariffs imposed by the US, enhancing India's importance in the UK’s trade agenda, aligning with India's targets for substantial export growth.
The UK's business and trade secretary emphasized the strategic nature of seeking a trade deal with India, projected to be the world's third-largest economy in a few years.
Trade negotiations, stalled since elections, have resumed with focus on addressing significant tariffs and enhancing student and professional mobility between the UK and India.
