DGFT has invited applications for the first 2026 import tranche under the India-UK trade agreement, covering 9,316 UK-built vehicles. The quota includes 4,658 premium or higher-engine-capacity passenger vehicles eligible for a 30% concessional customs duty.
DGFT has opened applications for 2026 India-UK CETA vehicle import quotas. The first phase covers 9,316 vehicles, including premium cars at 30% concessional duty, creating a channel for eligible Indian importers to source UK-built vehicles.
Why this matters
The move extends DGFT’s earlier opening of the India-UK CETA quota for 9,316 vehicle imports and follows its ₹10,000 RCMC waiver proposal, for which exporters sought a higher cap.
