Sunday, 28 June 2026, 06:15 · 1 min read

India's Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has called the recently concluded UK-India Free Trade Agreement the most comprehensive trade deal India has ever entered into, announcing it will come into force in July. Speaking at the Capital & Future Frontiers Forum in London — held as part of UK-India Week 2026 — Goyal was joined by UK Business and Trade Secretary Peter Kyle, who described the FTA as part of a broader reset in bilateral relations driven by strong political commitment from both governments. Bilateral trade between the two countries has grown from roughly £17 billion to nearly £48 billion over the past decade, and the agreement is expected to deepen investment, technology, and innovation ties further.
