- DIPAK MONDAL @New Delhi

India is hoping the deal would give a boost to labour-intensive and farm sectors.

The FTA, finalised in May and signed on Thursday by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, eliminates 99% of UK tariff lines and nearly 100% of trade by value. In return, India will progressively cut duties on 90% of its tariff lines, with 85% of UK exports becoming duty-free over the next decade.
