India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement Offers Market Access and Sustainability Provisions
The India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), effective from July 15, is one of India's most comprehensive bilateral trade deals with a developed economy. It offers duty-free access on most tariff lines and includes progressive provisions on sustainability, labour, environment, and digital trade. While it promises opportunities for sectors like textiles and manufacturing, challenges remain for MSMEs due to compliance and documentation requirements. The agreement reflects India's evolving trade strategy, balancing liberalisation with domestic sensitivities and aiming to deepen integration into global value chains.
