India-UK FTA brings ‘stability and predictability’ for businesses in both countries: Piyush Goyal

19 Jun 2025 Evaluate

Expressing an optimism over India-UK trade pact, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has said that the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) brings ‘stability and predictability’ for businesses in both the countries. He added that this will lead to doubling the bilateral trade in five years. He said ‘That gives confidence to business to start investing in each other’s economy and I think this will also pave the way for greater investments in the two economies, add to our trade in goods and services… India and UK can partner in innovation to work together to bring more resilient supply chains, working with each other, complementing each other and adding value and profits to both countries’.

Goyal arrived in London on a two-day visit to discuss with his UK counterpart Jonathan Reynolds the next steps towards implementation of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA), and explore ways to boost trade and investment between the two countries. In their first joint public intervention since the FTA negotiations concluded last month, UK counterpart Jonathan Reynolds had said he was ‘genuinely excited’ about the prospects opened up with the FTA. He had said that the trade deal is estimated to increase bilateral trade in the long run by GBP 25.5 billion every year – from the current annual estimate of GBP 41 billion – as tariffs are slashed across key sectors on both sides. He noted ‘This trade agreement is a huge economic win for the UK - the biggest trade deal since Brexit and the best deal that India has ever offered’.

The Ministry of Commerce and Industry highlighted significant positive gains for employment in the country, offering a substantial improvement in competitiveness of Indian goods in the UK vis-a-vis other countries as well as easing mobility for professionals. The FTA, announced on May 6 with a target to double trade between the two economies to $120 billion by 2030, is now undergoing a process of legal text formalisation before it can come into force. The commerce ministry said ‘Both leaders will review the progress made in the ongoing FTA negotiations and chart out a clear, time-bound roadmap for its finalisation and implementation’.
