Statement by Mr Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General, CII on India UK FTA

"The landmark India-UK Free Trade Agreement marks a major stride in strengthening economic ties between the two nations. It is set to catalyze cross-sectoral trade, boost investor confidence, and unlock significant opportunities for Indian industry—particularly for MSMEs.

Under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is expanding its global economic footprint through forward-looking and strategic partnerships like this. CII commends the Government’s efforts in securing a comprehensive agreement that not only serves national interests but also creates vast business opportunities to support India’s journey toward Viksit Bharat.”
