On 24 June 2022, the Republic of India and the United Kingdom concluded the fourth round of talks for an India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA).

Negotiation officials undertook these technical talks in a hybrid fashion – with some of the teams meeting in London and the majority of officials joining virtually.

For this round of negotiations, detailed draft treaty text was advanced across the majority of chapters. Technical experts from both sides came together for discussions in 71 separate sessions covering 20 policy areas.

The fifth round of negotiations is due to take place in July 2022 in New Delhi.
