India Invites Applications for 2027 Vehicle Import Quotas Under UK Trade Pact
The Indian government has invited applications for tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) under the India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) for calendar year 2027. The quotas allow concessional duty imports of 24,500 passenger vehicles across three engine-capacity categories, plus 2,750 units for goods transport vehicles excluding electric and hydrogen types. This follows the pact's July 2026 implementation and an initial 2026 quota allocation. Applications are open from November 6 to 21, 2026, as announced by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade.
