UK rolls out the red carpet for 'Made In India' ???????????????? #IndiaUKFTA — Piyush Goyal (@PiyushGoyal) July 24, 2025 The FTA, officially signed between India and the United Kingdom, marks a significant milestone in bilateral economic relations. While the agreement involves a wide range of tariff reductions and regulatory relaxations, Goyal's post brought public attention to the practical, region-specific outcomes that could transform export ecosystems across the country. Gains from India-UK FTA: State-wise list The infographic presents a diverse spread of Indian products across states that are set to benefit from zero-duty or reduced-duty access to the UK. Here's a snapshot of key items: Signed after years of negotiation, the India-UK FTA aims to double bilateral trade to over $100 billion by 2030, from around $56 billion at present. The deal slashes tariffs across nearly 99 per cent of traded goods and opens up greater mobility for Indian professionals. India-UK FTA: Key takeaways Labour-intensive exports: Indian textiles, footwear, handicrafts, and processed foods to get duty-free entry into the UK Market access for services: Easier movement for chefs, yoga instructors, artists, and IT professionals Agricultural edge: Over 95 per cent of Indian agricultural and processed food exports—such as spices, fruits, and seafood—will enter the UK tariff-free Tariff cuts on imports: Safeguarding domestic interests Despite wide-ranging liberalisation, India has ensured that sensitive categories such as dairy, apples, edible oils, and oats are excluded from duty concessions. This balance aims to protect domestic producers while tapping into export-led growth.

Monsoon session like ‘Vijay Utsav', Constitution winning over violence: PM Modi
In his customary remarks in Parliament complex before the session's start, Modi lauded a number of positive developments for the country and asserted that the Constitution is prevailing over bombs and guns. New Delhi, Jul 21 (PTI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday set the ruling alliance's tone for an expected discussion in Parliament's Monsoon session on Operation Sindoor, describing this sitting of parliamentarians as a 'Vijay Utsav' and expressing confidence that MPs will articulate this sentiment in one voice. 'This Monsoon session is a very proud session for the country. It is like a 'Vijay Utsav' (celebration of victory) for the nation. The world witnessed the capability of armed forces. They achieved their targets 100 per cent,' he said. He also noted that the Indian flag was unfurled recently at the International Space Station, a reference to Shubhanshu Shukla becoming the first Indian to set foot on the facility. The prime minister said economy was getting a boost from bountiful rains, while peace and progress have marked this decade amid low inflation and high growth. The water reservoir level has tripled compared to the past ten years, which will significantly benefit economy, he added. With the INDIA bloc uniting to demand a debate on the Pahalgam terror attack and Operation Sindoor and seizing on US President Donald Trump's claims of mediating a 'ceasefire' between India and Pakistan to corner his government, Modi hailed the armed forces for meeting 100 per cent objectives of the military operation. He also lauded the multi-party delegations, which comprised MPs from different parties, that visited various parts of the world to convey India's position post-Operation Sindoor for their efforts in removing the veil from the face of the master of terrorists – Pakistan. 'I want to praise all these MPs and parties for this work done in national interest,' he said. Different political parties may have different agendas, Modi said, stressing that there must be unity of mind in matters of national interest. The Monsoon session is a 'Vijay Utsav' (victory celebration) as the might of India's military power and capability were manifested in Operation Sindoor, he said 'In Operation Sindoor, the Indian armed forces achieved their objectives 100 per cent. The armed forces under 22 minutes pulverised the masters of terrorism in their homes and reduced their hideouts to rubble,' Modi said. The military conflict with Pakistan also displayed the capability of 'Made in India' weapons and has drawn the world's attention to them, he added Modi expressed confidence that during the session MPs in one voice and with a victorious spirit will articulate these feelings that will strengthen India's military capability, inspire people, and will also give a boost to the Made in India defence capabilities. The prime minister noted that the brutal massacre in Pahalgam, which had left 26 civilians dead, had shocked the entire world and drew global attention to terrorism and its epicentre. Amid intensified operation against left wing ultras, Modi said the red corridors are turning into green growth zones. 'The country has been suffering from violent incidents from the start, be it terrorism or naxalism. But today naxalism and Maoism are shrinking at a fast rate in a big time. With the objective of uprooting naxalism, security forces are moving ahead with a new enthusiasm,' he said. 'I can say with pride that in the country, numerous districts have come out of the grip of naxalism and are breathing freely. Our Constitution is winning,' Modi said. He also hailed the economic transformation in the last 11 years, saying that when his government took office India was part of the fragile five but was now moving forward towards becoming the third biggest global economy. Peace and development have moved ahead shoulder to shoulder in the last decade, Modi said. Before 2014, the prime minister said India grappled with double-digit inflation. The inflation rate is now hovering around 2 per cent, and citizens are experiencing relief and improved ease of living. The low inflation coupled with high growth reflects a strong and steady development journey, he said. Modi took office following the 10-year rule of the Congress-led UPA. That 25 crore people have grown out of poverty is widely recognised by global institutions, while initiatives like Digital India and Unified Payments Interface (UPI) are showcasing the country's emerging capabilities as global interest in its digital ecosystem is rapidly increasing, he said. He also hailed the International Labour Organisation's report that over 90 crore Indians are now covered under social security as a landmark accomplishment in social welfare, and also flagged the World Health Organisation declaring India free of trachoma, an eye disease, as a significant milestone in public health efforts.

PM Modi Says "Need Unity On National Interest" Ahead Of Monsoon Session
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday praised India's Operation Sindoor against terror bases and the global outreach program, saying the delegation of MPs "exposed" Pakistan on the world stage. Addressing ahead of the Parliament monsoon session, the Prime Minister called for unity on national interest inside the Parliament. LIVE UPDATES "Today, I want to say that the country has seen unity after Operation Sindoor, but the leaders in parliament should also unite," he said. PM Modi also praised the Operation Sindoor - a military strike on terror targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir to avenge the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. "This monsoon session is a celebration of victory. The whole world has seen the strength of India's military power. The target set by the Indian Army in Operation Sindoor was achieved 100 per cent. Under Operation Sindoor, the houses of the masters of terrorists were razed to the ground within 22 minutes," he said during his nearly 18-minute address. According to PM Modi, the concept of 'Made in India' has captured global attention. "I announced it at an event in Bihar, and our Indian Armed Forces demonstrated their strength during this operation. The concept of 'Made in India', which represents a new facet of India's military power, has also captured global attention. Whenever I meet people from various countries, I notice a growing interest in Made in India weapons," he said. The Parliament is set for a stormy monsoon session today, with the Opposition ready to corner the government on many issues, including the Pahalgam attack and elections in Bihar. Ahead of the session, the Congress said it would seek a reply from PM Modi about the "lack of security" that enabled terrorists to attack tourists with impunity in Pahalgam. Rajya Sabha MP Renuka Chowdhury gave a notice to discuss the "lapses in internal security that led to the Pahalgam attack" and the foreign policy actions following the ceasefire with Pakistan after Operation Sindoor. The grand old party will also seek a response to the US President Donald Trump's claims about mediating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan. "Our senior army officers have raised a very sensitive issue about the two-front axis that has been formed on our border with China, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. So it is very important that we talk about defence and foreign policy," Congress leader Gaurav Gogoi said. Additionally, the Centre will be introducing eight new bills and discussing eight other pending bills during the monsoon session. The monsoon session of the Parliament will conclude on August 21 - with a break from August 12 to 18.
