India must strongly push for U.K., EU trade pacts

Why is it in news?
  • According to experts, India should aggressively pursue free trade agreements (FTAs) separately with European Union (EU) and the U.K.
  • Both EU and the U.K. clinching a post-Brexit trade pact.
Details:
  • India can explore opportunities in services sectors such as IT in both the markets as the EU-U.K. pact does not cover services.
  • After the trade deal with the EU and the U.K., India will get a better opportunity to cater to demand in these markets.
  • However, it is premature to assess the gains for India from the agreement between the EU and the U.K.
