Modi, Starmer tout India-UK trade deal as new Indian investment unveiled

The deal cuts tariffs on goods from textiles to whisky and cars, expanding market access between the world’s fifth- and sixth-largest economies to boost trade by £25.5 billion ($34 billion) by 2040.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and British counterpart Keir Starmer hailed their new trade deal as potentially transforming commercial links, as London unveiled new Indian investment that would be a “launch pad” for closer ties.
