Goa stands to benefit from India-UK free trade agreement: GCCI
Panaji: The India-UK free trade agreement (FTA) will significantly benefit Goa's pharmaceutical companies, tourism sector, and feni producers, said the Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) on Saturday. GCCI president Pratima Dhond said that the recent signing of the trade agreement between the two nations could provide a much-needed boost to Goa's economy. The FTA provides zero-duty access to the UK market for nearly 99% of Indian exports, including pharmaceuticals. While the UK imports nearly $30 billion worth of medicines and medical devices, India's pharma exports to the UK currently stand at under $1 billion. The bilateral agreement is anticipated to unlock major export opportunities for the sector. Goa is ranked sixth in pharmaceutical exports, with an overall share of 5.6%. 'This landmark agreement is expected to significantly enhance trade and investment opportunities between India and the UK, with far-reaching benefits for the state,' she said. The FTA could lead to increased travel and tourism opportunities between India and the UK, and this will benefit Goa's tourism industry. Dhond said that Goa's feni industry will gain recognition in the British market with geographical indication protection, opening up new export opportunities. 'This will be a major boost for govt, which is promoting exports of Indian alcoholic beverages to global markets,' she said. Meanwhile, duty-free exports of marine products to the UK, textile businesses, and IT services also stand to benefit from the trade agreement, boosting the state's economy over the long term, said GCCI. The UK imports around $5.4 billion worth of marine products such as prawns, tuna, mackerel, sardines, squid, crab, and pomfret. India's current share in the UK's marine imports is just 2.3%, but this share is projected to double after the FTA. All coastal states stand to benefit from export-led job creation. 'Indian professionals, including those from Goa, will have easier access to the UK market, with relaxed visa procedures and exemptions from UK social security contributions,' said Dhond.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The commissioner said the govt mopped up a revenue of Rs 14,342 crore from the auction of retail vends. In the last excise year, the state govt collected Rs 7,025 crore from excise auctions. The auctions this year concluded much earlier due to the attractive provisions of the Excise Policy 2025-27, said the commission. In the previous year, the auctions could be completed only in August. He said Haryana's excise policy provides for a fair and transparent mode of excise auctions through a web portal, which resulted in high participation by prospective licensees.

Lucknow: The state govt has secured financial approval of Rs 12,031 crore under PMAY (Urban) Mission 2.0. The funding will help provide pucca houses to the urban poor across Uttar Pradesh.

The central and state govts will share the costs of housing units in 60:40 ratio. Each eligible beneficiary will accordingly receive Rs 2.5 lakh in assistance to help build a permanent (pucca) house.
