Mon, 24 Feb 2025 UK and India relaunch trade talks in Delhi

British trade secretary Jonathan Reynolds met his Indian counterpart Piyush Goyal in Delhi on Monday.
India and the UK have restarted free trade talks, with the two-day discussions focused on "advancing" negotiations and ensuring a deal is "balanced, ambitious and mutually beneficial". The countries have held over a dozen rounds of negotiations since 2022 but an agreement has remained elusive. Key sticking points include high tariffs in India on Scotch whisky and relaxing fees and visa rules for Indian students and professionals going to the UK.
