'Fastest we've ever put a trade deal into force': British High Commissioner to India Lindy Cameron hails India-UK trade deal
British High Commissioner to India Lindy Cameron announced that the India-UK free trade agreement will enter into force on July 15, 2026, less than a year after signing. The deal, dubbed the fastest ever put into force by the two nations, will provide duty-free access to 99% of Indian exports and reduce tariffs on British Scotch whisky from 150% to 40%. It aims to double bilateral trade to $100-$120 billion by 2030.
