India-UK trade pact operational; exports hit $140M.
The India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) is now operational, immediately impacting trade flows. On the first day, India exported over $140 million to the UK. While exporters anticipate significant boosts for labor-intensive sectors like textiles and agriculture, there are differing views on immediate consumer benefits. Some reports focus on tariff reductions for goods like cars and spirits, while others caution that changes for items like Scotch whisky will be phased in over time. Experts stress that success hinges on business adoption, job creation, and investment, with officials urging a shift from negotiation to tangible implementation.
