Nigel Farage welcomes India-UK trade deal

3 min read

Nigel Farage welcomed the signed India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, saying it was long overdue and possible because Brexit freed the United Kingdom to set its own trade policy. He broadly endorsed the pact while keeping open the option that Reform UK would review elements if it formed a government. The agreement, announced alongside prime ministerial engagements and due to enter into force on July 15, is expected to give Indian exporters a 7–10 percent tariff advantage and zero duty on over 99 percent of tariff lines, and it arrives amid an existing Indian surplus in goods and services with the UK.

More than 99 percent of India's tariff lines will attract zero duty.
