India and the United Kingdom have signed a landmark Free Trade Agreement (FTA) during Prime Minister Modi's visit to the UK, marking a major step in bilateral relations. The deal will cut tariffs on a wide range of goods, including textiles, whisky, cars, and spices, and is expected to boost annual trade by over $34 billion. Key sectors like textiles, leather, seafood, and agriculture are set to benefit, while the UK will see increased investment and job creation.
