India and UK Discuss Enhancing Trade and Investment Under CETA Agreement

India and the UK held a virtual meeting between Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal and UK Secretary of State for Business and Trade Peter Kyle to discuss enhancing bilateral trade and investment. They focused on leveraging opportunities under the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) signed on July 24, 2025, which allows 99% of Indian exports to enter the UK duty-free and reduces tariffs on British goods in India. CETA aims to double the current $56 billion trade by 2030.
