The landmark India-United Kingdom Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) officially came into force today.

 

To mark this historic milestone, the inaugural consignment of export shipments from Telangana to the UK was flagged off from Hyderabad this morning. The launch ceremony was attended by several senior officials, including Telangana’s Special Secretary for Industries Krishna Aditya, DGFT Additional Director Dr. Sampath Kumar, VSEZ Deputy Commissioner Bhavani Sri, and regional head R.P. Naidu.

 

The trade pact is expected to significantly enhance market access for Indian exports through the elimination of tariffs, simplified customs procedures, and improved regulatory cooperation. Officials anticipate that these tariff concessions will create robust new opportunities for exporters across multiple sectors while substantially boosting the competitiveness of Telangana’s products in the UK market.
