In the series of flagging off of various products to the United Kingdom from India under the India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), ready-made garments and woollen and worsted yarn have been flagged off from Punjab’s Amritsar and Ludhiana, today. This export has marked the coming into force of CETA from today.
At Ludhiana, the ceremony was jointly organized at Sahnewal by DGFT (RA) Ludhiana, Custom Commissionerate, Ludhiana and FIEO. Whereas, in Amritsar, the consignment of ready-made garments was flagged off from Sri Guru Ramdas Ji International Airport through Air India’s direct flight to Birmingham.
The agreement secures zero-duty market access for nearly 99% of India’s exports to the UK, expands opportunities across 137 services sub-sectors, and boosts key sectors, including textiles, leather, engineering, food processing, pharmaceuticals and MSMEs.
