India-UK trade agreement faces delays
The new India-UK trade deal is facing a long wait before it actually starts making a difference.
Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal shared that while India can finish its legal checks in about three months, the UK's approval process might stretch things out for more than a year.
TL;DR
Deal to boost Indian exports
Even with the delay, this deal is set to give Indian exports a big boost by cutting duties on almost all products.
Both sides are using this time to strengthen business ties and help everyone understand what's coming.
Goyal also sounded optimistic about wrapping up another key agreement—the Bilateral Investment Treaty—without any major hiccups.
