The agreement encompasses nearly £6 billion in fresh investment and export opportunities
A momentous trade agreement between Britain and India was formally concluded at Chequers today, with both nations' leaders witnessing the ceremony that marks a significant shift in bilateral ties.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer welcomed his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi to the country residence for what both described as a watershed moment in UK-India relations.
The agreement encompasses nearly £6 billion in fresh investment and export opportunities, with Indian enterprises broadening their UK presence whilst British firms gain enhanced access to Indian markets.
Consumer benefits include reduced tariffs on everyday items such as clothing, footwear and food products, which are expected to lower prices for British shoppers.
Starmer said: "We've had much to talk about today and much to celebrate, and I look forward to our continued work together as we strengthen security, growth and prosperity for working people in both of our nations."
