The India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) and the Agreement on Social Security came into force on July 15, 2026. This agreement aims to double bilateral trade to over $100 billion within the next 5 years by removing critical market barriers and easing cross-border professional mobility.
CETA provides zero-duty access for nearly 99% of exports from India. On the first day of the implementation of the agreement, export consignments worth over $140 million were flagged off.
