India's pact with the UK is different from its earlier trade pacts, which had simple rules of origin linked to the wholly-obtained criterion from the trade partner country, value-added criteria or change in tariff heading parameter, which means transformation of a product leading to a change in its duty classification. While there are references to such rules in India's
trade pact
with Australia, it is for the first time that such elaborate rules have been created.

BEL net profit in Q1FY26 is estimated to grow 23% year-on-year (YoY), while the PSU defence company's revenue growth is expected to be 15% YoY, led by healthy execution of the outstanding order book of ₹ 7,170 crore, according to Nomura estimates. It expects order inflows of ₹ 7,350 crore, thereby growing by 48% YoY on the low base of Q1FY25. Further, EBITDA is expected to grow 27% YoY primarily led by a 155 bps expansion in gross margin due to softer raw material prices.

Shares to buy for the short term: Jigar Patel of Anand Rathi recommends THESE 2 stocks
Shares to buy for the short term: The Indian stock market has been in corrective mode for the last few weeks due to the delayed India-US trade deal, the foreign capital outlook, and uninspiring Q1 earnings. The Sensex and the Nifty 50 have been on losing streak for the last four consecutive weeks, on a weekly basis. So far this month, both indices are down nearly 3 per cent each. Last Friday, the Nifty 50 fell almost 1 per cent to end at 24,837, falling below its critical support of 25,000. Jigar S. Patel, Senior Manager of Equity Research at Anand Rathi Share and Stock Brokers, underscored that the Nifty's reversal from 25,250 has brought it precariously close to a breakdown below the previous swing low at 24,850, a development considered negative for market sentiment. Patel pointed out that the index is now hovering around a crucial rising channel support, and a close below 24,800 could confirm this breakdown, placing the next support at 24,450 in the spotlight. A breach of the 24,450 may usher in a more pronounced corrective phase. On the upside, recapturing the 25,000 level will be essential for the bulls to regain momentum, said Patel. The expert further added that from a positioning perspective, the current long-short ratio in index futures has dropped below 15 per cent, signalling a predominance of short bets. "While this high concentration of shorts increases nervousness, it also raises the odds for a sharp short-covering rally if a positive trigger emerges. Until clearer signals appear, a cautious outlook on the broader time frame is recommended," said Patel. Jigar Patel recommends buying shares of TCS and Sun Pharma for the next two to three weeks. TCS has been on a downward trajectory since mid-May 2025, consistently forming lower highs and lower lows. This bearish structure has resulted in a correction of nearly ₹ 440 — a decline of approximately 12.32 per cent. However, the stock now stands at a technically significant zone, where both time and price confluence suggest a potential trend reversal. Historically, key pivot highs and lows in TCS have often occurred within a 25–38 day cycle. Interestingly, this window aligns with both the Lucas number (29) and Fibonacci number (34), adding credence to the time-based support. Adding to the technical outlook, a bullish Bat Harmonic Pattern is taking shape around the ₹ 3,080-3,100 mark, coinciding with the S1 quarterly floor pivot, reinforcing the likelihood of a strong base. Moreover, the MACD histogram is showing signs of exhaustion in negative momentum, with shrinking red bars indicating a possible shift in trend. "In light of these technical factors, traders may consider initiating long positions in the ₹ 3,140–3,100 zone in a staggered manner, targeting an upside move toward ₹ 3,430, with a protective stop loss at ₹ 2,965 on a daily closing basis,' said Patel. TCS technical chart Sun Pharma has formed a robust base in the ₹ 1,650–1,680 range, coinciding with the S3 Camarilla monthly pivot, signalling a key support zone. This area also aligns with a rising trendline and the lower median line of a pitchfork, creating a compelling technical confluence that could attract renewed buying interest. "The multiple support factors at play increase the probability of a bullish reversal from current levels. A decisive move above this consolidation zone could open the door for a fresh leg higher,' said Patel. Patel suggests an entry zone of ₹ 1,705–1,695 for the stock, with a target price of ₹ 1,800, and a stop loss of ₹ 1,650 on a daily closing basis.

There is more scope for Indian investment in the UK than the other way around: Swaminathan Aiyar
Live Events You Might Also Like: India-UK trade deal not historic but should help Indian workers in UK: Swaminathan Aiyar You Might Also Like: Be Ready to Export: India-UK FTA is a transformational leap (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel , Consulting Editor, ET Now, says India stands as a prominent investor in the UK, with the Tata Group leading as the largest private sector employer. Enhanced by relaxed social security deductions for IT workers, increased Indian investment in the UK's IT sector appears promising. Opportunities also exist for Indian professionals in finance, media, and sports, potentially fostering a beneficial two-way exchange of skills and government is anxious to emphasise that there will be job creation in artisanal, labour-intensive sectors like leather or textiles or auto ancillaries. I would just say that in the long run, we need to look away from the labour-intensive field. Our comparative advantage is in skills. We are very competitive in skills. We are not competitive on labour costs for there are a large number of issues on the labour side. It includes the very large number of holidays we have in India compared with anybody else, and relatively short hours of work. Because of all this, I do not think India has a great advantage in the labour-intensive sector which the government claims it wants to promote as our labour laws do not really promote that. So that is the real problem, our own labour laws, not the trade barriers in Europe, not the trade barriers in the UK. And we would have to do something about auto ancillaries, we can certainly have a move up. The British car industry has disappeared in terms of British names, but the multinationals of the world are there, certainly the Japanese and Korean companies and we can export there and hopefully at some point of time, we will even be able to export to Jaguar which is very high-end in terms of the auto parts, but Tata owns it. We are not competitive in large cars, but we are definitely competitive in small countries in Europe, and in England, small cars are preferable, whereas in the USA, it is large cars. Small cars are preferable because of very high prices of petrol and because of a lack of parking spaces. Americans have huge parking spaces for their large cars. Britain and Europe are much more constrained by space. So, our small car exports should have a chance of rising significantly. It will also depend of course on what happens to the tariffs of various rivals. Malaysia, Thailand, China, all of these are competitors in small car areas. So, I am not sure what will happen out there, but if we have a good deal, if we have a very low tariff regime and they do not, that will clearly give us a benefit in the are a number of issues. As far as investment is concerned, will this help mutual investment? Will this help Indian investment in the UK? Will it help British investment in India? I am not sure to what extent it will boost British investment in India. The reason is that Britain hardly produces many goods anymore. It used to be a large exporter of goods, but it has substantially deindustrialised and become a services sector. So, it will want to do something more on the services sector which we should allow because we are competitive in services, we should allow them to come again, if somebody comes into the services with a GCC, it will not involve very much investment. It will certainly generate revenue. It will help generate skills. It will be skilling of the Indian workforce. There will be exports involved, but do not expect very heavy investment. It does not take a lot of heavy investment to start an R&D centre into artificial intelligence. So that is the kind of thing the British may be investing in is one of the biggest investors in the UK. The Tata Group is the largest single employer in the private sector in the entire United Kingdom. I mean, it has TCS, it has Jaguar, and it has its steel plant out there and those together are a massive amount of investment, a massive amount of jobs. Will that trend increase? Yes, it could increase. But as I said, that is now fundamentally a services economy. It is no longer a large-scale producer of can Indian companies like TCS which are already well established increase their footprint? Yes, I should think so, especially now that there is this freedom in terms of social security deductions. Earlier, if an IT worker went there, a significant part of his salary was cut saying this is a social security contribution although he would never get it back as a pension in his old age. Now that that is being waived for three years, we will be able to send lots more people for up to three years and this should induce much more Indian investment in the IT sector there.I hope that happens. It looks promising. Of course, the other thing is that will there be more Indian writers for Financial Times and The Economist or more Indian footballers going into the Premier League, some of these areas and of course, there is the stock market. I mean, Britain is a highly financialised market with a huge stock market. It already has a significant number of Indian names that are already well known. I imagine that number could go up. How many of them would retain a close connection with India? I am not sure. But you could hope that a significant number of people go there and they improve their skills, send home remittances , and later on perhaps come back and open businesses here, so that is what we look forward to, something happening two-way and on this frankly I see more scope for Indian investment in the UK than the other way around.
