India gets applications for just 642 UK cars under 10,000-unit FTA quota
India invited applications for 10,480 car units under its 2026 trade agreement with the UK. In response, seven UK-based carmakers applied for concessional-duty quotas covering just 642 vehicles. That is a small share of the quota on offer. For Indian importers and dealers, the low uptake means little extra UK car supply is coming for now.
Key Statutory Highlights
- India had invited applications for 10,480 car units under the 2026 bilateral trade agreement.
- Seven UK-based carmakers applied for concessional-duty quotas for 642 vehicles.

Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you import or deal in UK cars, keep track of how the unused quota is handled and check with your customs consultant before planning your imports.
