JCB has welcomed this week’s announcement of the landmark UK – India Free Trade Agreement after the formal conclusion of talks between the United Kingdom and Republic of India.
JCB Chief Executive Graeme Macdonald said: “India is a great country in which to do business. JCB has been manufacturing machines there since 1979. So, we know India very well and the opportunity for British businesses in that huge market is significant. It’s the fifth largest economy in the world and is tipped to become the third largest by 2028. This Free Trade Agreement should give British businesses the confidence they need to enter the market, trade more easily and benefit from the massive opportunity.”
