# India UK trade pact targets $100 billion bilateral trade by 2030 2026-08-06T17:57:01+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement is set to come into force on July 15, 2026, with both countries targeting $100 billion in bilateral trade by 2030. The government’s Economic Times report says India will receive duty-free access for about 99 per cent of its exports to Britain, including garments, footwear, marine products and engineering goods. India will phase in duty-free treatment for 85 per cent of tariff lines covering 66 per cent of existing UK exports. Whisky duties will fall from 150 per cent to 40 per cent over 10 years, while British cars will get quota-based access at a 10 per cent tariff. The report says lower duties alone will not ensure gains, as exporters must meet origin, standards and documentation rules. ## Coverage - government.economictimes.indiatimes.com Tags: CETA, exports, India-UK trade, MSMEs, Tariffs Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/india-uk-trade-pact-targets-100-billion-bilateral-trade-by-2030/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
