The Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations between India and the United Kingdom (UK) have entered a crucial phase, marked by intense discussions on key issues such as alcohol tariffs, specifically on Scotch whiskey, rules of origin, and professional visas. Despite both parties expressing a desire to reach an agreement, resolving these contentious issues has proven challenging, casting uncertainty over the future of the deal.
Recent reports indicate that internal deliberations are underway within the Indian and UK governments to bridge the gaps on these difficult matters. Additionally, consultations with influential business entities and trade chambers have been conducted to gather valuable insights and perspectives.
