After three years of talks, the UK and India have finally agreed a trade deal that will make it easier for UK firms to export whisky, cars and other products to India, and cut taxes on India’s clothing and footwear exports.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the deal would boost growth and “deliver for British people and business”. However, it does not include any change in immigration policy, including towards Indian students studying in the UK.

India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, described the deal as an historic milestone that was “ambitious and mutually beneficial”.

Once it comes into force, which could take up to a year, UK consumers are likely to benefit from the reduction in tariffs on goods coming into the country from India.
