Dear Members,

Greetings from CHEMEXCIL!

As you are aware that the India–United Kingdom Free Trade Agreement (India–UK CETA) was officially signed on 24th July 2025 in London by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and UK Prime Minister Mr. Keir Starmer.

CHEMEXCIL has already issued a detailed circular on this topic vide circular no EPC:LIC:FTA:IND-UK:CHEM:OPP:2025-26:589 dated 25th July 2025. (Ref. https://chemexcil.in/circulars/india%E2%80%93uk-free-trade-agreement-signed-%E2%80%93-opportunities-for-indian--chemical-exporters:-regarding/6481/82d3e5d3cdd5b15d25db2f39f4c293c5.html )

We are pleased to announce a detailed interactive session to provide an in-depth analysis of India-UK CETA agreement, with a specific focus on its implications and opportunities for the Indian Chemical Sector.

This CETA (FTA) is an important step towards strengthening bilateral trade and investment, offering zero-duty market access for over 1000+ Chemical tariff lines.

In view of this important development, CHEMEXCIL in association with M/s Helpline Impex Pvt Ltd is organizing a dedicated seminar on this important topic to get more clarity on the FTA terms as per as Chemical sector is concerned.

This session will provide the practical aspects of the FTA, providing Indian Chemical Exporters with valuable insights to gain a competitive advantage through duty-free tariff access, exploring long-term partnerships, joint ventures, and technology exchange.
