Cheaper chocolates, cosmetics, soft drinks from UK no threat to India’s local industry

India's Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the UK will reduce tariffs on various products including cosmetics, soft drinks, and chocolates, though officials expect no significant surge in these imports that would harm domestic industry. Scotch whisky imports are likely to grow, as tariffs will be reduced from 150% to 75% immediately and to 40% over ten years.
