Mohit Bansal Welcomes a New Era of India–UK Economic Collaboration
The implementation of the India–UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) marks a significant milestone in strengthening the long-standing partnership between India and the United Kingdom. By creating a framework for enhanced trade, investment, and innovation, the agreement opens the door to a new era of economic collaboration that will benefit businesses, entrepreneurs, and industries across both nations.
On this landmark occasion, Mohit Bansal, CEO of GMI Infra, had the privilege of meeting Ms. Alba Smeriglio, British Deputy High Commissioner, Chandigarh, to discuss the immense possibilities that this historic agreement brings. Their interaction focused on strengthening bilateral economic cooperation, promoting cross-border investment, encouraging innovation, and exploring opportunities for sustainable infrastructure development.
India and the United Kingdom have enjoyed decades of strong diplomatic and commercial relations. The Free Trade Agreement further strengthens these ties by reducing trade barriers, improving market access, and making it easier for businesses in both countries to collaborate. For India's rapidly growing infrastructure and real estate sectors, this agreement creates a favourable environment for attracting international investment and building globally competitive business ecosystems.
During the discussion, Mohit Bansal emphasised that infrastructure serves as the foundation of economic progress. Modern commercial spaces, industrial parks, IT campuses, logistics hubs, and integrated urban developments are essential to supporting business expansion and creating employment opportunities. As international trade continues to grow, future-ready infrastructure becomes even more important in enabling businesses to operate efficiently and compete on a global scale.
As the CEO of GMI Infra, Mohit Bansal believes that international collaboration encourages not only financial investment but also the exchange of knowledge, technology, and best practices. These partnerships help accelerate innovation while promoting sustainable development across industries. The India–UK Free Trade Agreement creates an ideal platform for such collaboration, benefiting businesses of all sizes and encouraging long-term economic growth.
The conversation also highlighted the importance of creating investment-friendly ecosystems where businesses can confidently establish operations and expand into new markets. Infrastructure developers have an important role in this journey by building commercial destinations that combine strategic locations, modern amenities, and sustainable planning.
