New Delhi, July 13 -- Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has announced that the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) will allow all Indian goods exported to the United Kingdom to enter duty-free from July 15.

The move is expected to benefit a wide range of sectors, including agriculture, fisheries, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and manufacturing.
