India-UK CETA opens duty-free runway for apparel exporters from July 15
AEPC flags a step-change opportunity as the India-UK trade pact takes effect July 15, granting duty-free access to a UK apparel import market worth USD 19.84 billion. Indian shipments, currently at USD 1.4 billion, gain pricing parity with rivals — a tailwind for capacity, investment and jobs across the export base.
India-UK CETA, effective July 15, will give Indian apparel exporters duty-free access to the UK market. AEPC sees major upside versus current USD 1.4B exports against UK's USD 19.84B total apparel imports, boosting competitiveness, investment and employment.
