UK–India Roadshow 2026:

Unlock your export growth with the UK–India FTA

Are you looking for the clarity, confidence and connections needed to enter, expand or scale successfully in India?

The UK–India Free Trade Agreement (FTA), due to enter into force in 2026, is one of the most significant trade deals the UK has secured, with bilateral trade expected to grow by nearly 39% worth £25.5 billion a year.
