The United Kingdom and India are nearing the final stage of a landmark Free Trade Agreement (FTA) after resolving 25 out of 26 major negotiation points during high-level talks in London. The deal, which has been in negotiations since January 2022, aims to boost bilateral trade through reduced tariffs and enhanced market access for key sectors like automobiles, whisky, and food products. Outstanding issues include India's demand for exemption from the UK’s upcoming carbon border tax and relief on national insurance for Indian workers. A formal agreement is expected during a future Modi-Starmer meeting. (PC: Getty Images)
