Event Summary

The 'India Meets Britain Tracker 2026' report, led by Grant Thornton Bharat>>> and supported by the Confederation of Indian Textile Industry>>> and IOWN Global Forum>>>, reveals a significant increase in Indian-owned companies in the United Kingdom>>>. The number of firms surged by nearly 60% year-on-year to 1,912, with a combined turnover of £105.77 billion and employing over 203,500 people. This growth is largely attributed to the signing of the Comprehensive economic partnership agreement (CETA) in 2025, which is expected to further boost bilateral trade and investment. Key sectors for Indian investment include Technology, Media, and Telecom (TMT), manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals. While London remains a primary destination, Indian investment is diversifying geographically across the United Kingdom>>>. Despite challenges like rising operational costs and regulatory complexities, the United Kingdom>>>'s stable legal and financial systems, coupled with its focus on clean energy and digital technology, continue to attract Indian investors.
