Professor Robin Clark, Dean of WMG at the University of Warwick said:

“The UK trade deal with India is very good news for UK manufacturing. The significantly reduced tariffs for advanced manufacturing, automotive and clean energy are particularly welcome, giving UK companies the opportunity to support India's sustainable economic growth, while creating jobs and investment at home.

“WMG, at the University of Warwick, has deep expertise in supporting innovation in the UK and India, with long-standing partnerships with CII and major investors such as Tata and TVS across sectors including automotive, energy and steel, alongside innovation and education collaborations with leading Indian Business and education institutions, delivering positive impact for our regional and national economy. While further details will be announced, we look forward to building on our experience to help firms identify the growth opportunities that will develop as the UK and India work more closely together.”
