Outcome
Inaccurate
Inferred window of about 10 years (to Aug 2026). India signed meaningful trade deals with Australia (ECTA, in force 2022), the UAE (CEPA, 2022) and EFTA (TEPA, 2024), and concluded a major FTA with the EU in January 2026, so the UK (whose own deal was signed in 2025) is far from the only one.
