Nueconomy recently released UK–India FTA: Regional Opportunities for Exporters and Sourcing Strategies, an eight‑page briefing that turns the newly‑signed Free Trade Agreement into actionable guidance for UK regions, exporters, and supply‑chain planners.
After fifteen negotiation rounds over three years, the UK–India FTA cuts Indian tariffs on 90 % of UK product lines, with 85 % becoming duty‑free within a decade. UK exports to India are projected to surge 59.4 % (£15.7 bn), while bilateral trade is expected to expand by £25.5 bn by 2040. Government modelling also forecasts a £3.3 bn boost to UK GDP, £28 bn more trade by 2035, and up to 600,000 new jobs across both economies.
“Policy alone doesn’t create growth—prepared regions and companies do,”
said Kavan Bhandary, Director at Nueconomy.“Our briefing shows where advantages begin on day one and how to secure partnerships before competitors move.”
