India and Britain are set to sign a free trade deal to cut tariffs on goods and increase market access for the two countries.

India will lower tariffs on British whisky, gin and other drinks as well as cars. The UK in turn will import more of India's textiles, gemstones and other goods.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in the UK to sign the deal. He will also hold talks with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and meet King Charles.

The UK government says the deal - announced in May after years of negotiations - will boost the British economy by £4.8bn a year. It comes after nearly three years of negotiations.

Negotiations on the deal concluded in May and the pact is expected to boost bilateral trade by an additional £25.5bn a year by 2040. Last year, trade between the UK and India totalled £42.6bn.
