Britain's trade talks with India are expected to progress this week, but it is unlikely the deal will be fully ironed out before the G20 summit between the United Kingdom and India next month. The trade deal is very important for both the U.K. and India, and both sides are invested very deeply, said Harsh V. Pant, author and vice president-studdies and foreign policy at Observer Research Foundation, New Delhi. This would be a major deal post-Brexit with a very big economy like India, while for the Asian country, which has not signed very many trade deals, this is likely to be one of the most comprehensive ones compared to the interim agreements India has signed with Australia, Pant said. U.K. Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch is visiting Jaipur, India, where G20 trade and investment ministers will gather for talks on Thursday and Friday. Badenoch will also be traveling to Delhi for bilateral talks with India's Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal. Badenoch's trip is expected to intensify the U.K.-India trade talks, but, contrary to speculations, there is no indication from either side about a full deal being agreed upon by the time Sunak arrives in India in September. The U.K. hopes to increase exports to India with a special focus on the automobile and whiskey industries. The U.K. is facing substantial tariffs on these exports and is therefore forced to slap a higher price on the products when they are finally sold to Indian consumers. If the U.K. relaxes some of the visa rules for Indians, India has shown its willingness to slash import duty on cars and whiskey. Pant said that India is willing to bring down tariffs, but will also have to ensure that its own domestic industry does not suffer, especially when Indian policymakers are looking to expand India's domestic manufacturing sector. The U.K. economy has a substantial advantage in the services sector, and British service firms are looking to expand in India. However, India has also gained strength in the services sector, and it's, therefore, uncertain how much room will be made in the agreement for this sector. There are a number of issues on the table at the moment that require careful scrutiny, Pant said. I don't see any hurry on either side to conclude a bad deal because that might be very difficult to sell to the domestic public and also it might boomerang at a time when both Britain and India will be going into elections, Pant said. It is expected that both countries could spend a number of weeks or months before shaking hands on a final, crease-free trade deal. Both sides are careful not to celebrate prematurely and do not indicate that a deal is imminent. So these last few weeks and months would be very critical, he said.
