England and India will officially launch a free trade agreement in new talks in New Delhi, seeking displacement of goods and people with an agreement projected to increase bilateral trade with billions of pounds.

The British has made an agreement with India as one of the post-brexit priorities as, free from the European Union General Trade Policy, the ministers saw a policy of trading in the economy that was faster around the Indo-Pacific region.

Trade Minister India Piyush Goyal and his English partners Anne-Marie Trevelly will meet in New Delhi on Thursday, with the first negotiation round starting next week.

“The agreement with India is a golden opportunity to place the British business in front of the queue when the Indian economy continues to grow rapidly,” Trevelly said in a statement.

Britain said the agreement could almost double the export of England to India, and in 2035 increases the total trade of 28 billion pounds ($ 38.3 billion) per year. The total trade in 2019 was worth 23 billion pounds, according to British statistics.

The ministers want to take advantage of the wealth of middle class India and their tastes for Premium English products such as Scotch whiskey. They also hope that India can be a large customer of the green technology industry, and that the existing service sector trade route can be strengthened.

India and former British colonial powers have shared strong trade bonds, and more than one million people from India live in England after decades of migration.

India looks for greater opportunities for Indians to live and work in the UK, and every trade agreement can depend on soothing rules and reduce costs for Indian students and professionals who go to England.

Access the lower rates to the Indian market in exchange for freed movement is expected to consist of the main dynamics in talks and will test the strength of the British negotiations, with any concessions on immigration that might face domestic opposition.

The two parties have negotiated the enhanced trade partnership, announced last year, and can choose to sign a limited interim free trade agreement while wider negotiations continued.
