Free Trade Agreement talks with India have been relaunched: UK

15 Jan 2025 Evaluate

The UK government has told Parliament that the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) talks with India have been relaunched to deliver a joint ambition of taking the bilateral relationship to ‘even greater heights’. During a debate on UK economic growth in the House of Commons, British Indian Labour MP Jeevun Sandher asked Foreign Secretary David Lammy about the steps being taken to get a ‘good UK-India trade deal over the line’. Describing 2025 as an ‘exciting year’ for the UK's trading relationship with India, the co-chair of the India All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) flagged the ‘exchange of green technologies to help prevent and reduce the warming of our planet’ among the areas of focus.

Sandher, a first-time member of Parliament from Loughborough, in the East Midlands region of England, said ‘We are two nations with an intertwined history and common democratic ideals and we face the risks of a dangerous world and a warming planet’. In response, Lammy said ‘We have relaunched the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) - we have said that it is a floor, not a ceiling on our ambition - and it was important that a delegation of Indian businessmen met the chancellor of the exchequer, me and the prime minister [Keir Starmer] just a few weeks before Christmas’.

According to the official UK Department for Business and Trade (DBT) statistics, the total trade in goods and services between the UK and India was GBP 42 billion in the four quarters to the end of 2024. This is expected to be significantly enhanced with an FTA, negotiations for which began in January 2022 before being paused in the fourteenth round for general elections in both countries in 2024. The FTA talks are expected to resume later this month.
