New Delhi / London, July 24, 2025 — The recently signed India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA), during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the UK, has been met with enthusiastic support from India’s industrial sector. Among the most prominent endorsements came from TVS Motor Company, which hailed the FTA as a “pivotal moment” in India’s rise as a global manufacturing powerhouse.
The agreement is expected to double bilateral trade from the current USD 60 billion to USD 120 billion by 2030, marking a major win under the Government’s ‘Make in India’ and ‘Viksit Bharat’ visions.
📣 TVS Motor Responds with Optimism
Speaking on the development, Mr. Sudarshan Venu, Managing Director of TVS Motor Company, said:
“We are deeply inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Viksit Bharat and his unwavering commitment to making India a global manufacturing and design powerhouse. The signing of the India-UK Free Trade Agreement is a pivotal moment — it opens new frontiers for Indian companies to take ‘Make in India’ to the world.”
“We are particularly excited given the launch of new Norton vehicles this year, which will benefit from the strengthening of trade links between India and the UK. It energises our global ambitions and strengthens our resolve to build world-class products and brands.”
🏍️ Norton Motorcycles: A Strategic Fit
TVS Motor acquired the iconic British motorcycle brand Norton in 2020, and the FTA now gives the company a clear competitive edge in the UK and European markets. With the launch of next-gen Norton models planned for later this year, TVS expects both manufacturing synergy and brand resonance in a post-FTA trade environment.
🌍 A Bigger Platform for Indian Innovation
The India-UK FTA is more than a trade agreement. It reflects a broader strategy to:
- Encourage exports of Indian-engineered products
- Boost bilateral investments
- Strengthen design and R&D collaboration
- Enhance supply chain efficiency
For companies like TVS Motor, it sets the stage for deeper integration with global markets while showcasing Indian excellence on the world stage.
