The deal is expected to double trade between the two countries by 2030. Many states like Maharashtra, Kerala, and Punjab will see growth in exports. The UK will also get cheaper Indian fruits, spices, and textiles. This agreement aims to support local jobs, small businesses, and cultural crafts across India. (PC: AP)
