What we can confirm
Authoritative government and media sources state that the India–UK free trade agreement was signed in July 2025 and **entered into force on 15 July 2026**, meaning the trade deal has now come into effect. Multiple official and analytical sources also explain that its tariff cuts and market-access provisions are expected to lower prices and increase choice for consumers, so it is reasonable and widely reported that it *may impact shoppers*, especially through cheaper imports and altered prices for goods such as clothing, footwear, food products, cars, and whisky.
