India is set to allow imports of 3.78 lakh cars from the United Kingdom under its bilateral trade arrangement, with lower import duties applied over a long implementation period. Multiple reports say the figure is tied to specific provisions in the pact and that the reduced-duty access is designed to increase the availability of UK-made vehicles in India. One outlet frames the arrangement as a mechanism that gives British automakers wider access to India’s premium car market, while pointing to an approach that continues to protect segments dominated by domestic producers, particularly in the mass-market EV category. Another report highlights that the lower duty treatment is linked to the pact and is planned to operate over 15 years. Taken together, the reporting indicates that the trade deal includes a quota-like element for UK car imports and sets out duty concessions intended to encourage trade, with the duration and market-coverage details described in broad terms across sources. The reports do not provide additional figures beyond the 3.78 lakh car allocation and do not specify exact duty rates in the provided excerpts.
