  "summary": "India has approved the import of 642 cars from the UK under the India-UK free trade agreement, according to a report by The Economic Times. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) granted approvals to seven companies after receiving applications in July for the allocation of import quotas for fully built passenger cars and goods vehicles from the UK. The India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) came into effect on July 15, providing for concessional customs duty on vehicle imports from Britain subject to specified quotas. The tariff rate quota mechanism allows imports of specified quantities of goods at a lower or preferential duty rate, with tariffs on automotive imports set to fall from around 110% to 10% under the agreement.",
