Yeh trade agreement duniya ke chauthe sabse bade economy, India, ke saath hua hai jisme whisky ke import par lagne wale taxes ko kaafi had tak kam kar diya gaya hai. Ab Indian market mein Scotch whisky ki bikri mein £1 billion tak ka izafa ho sakta hai. Yeh market duniya ka sabse bada whisky market mana jata hai aur ab Scotland apna market share aur bhi badhane ke liye tayar hai.

Scotland ke Secretary Douglas Alexander ka bayan

Scotland ke Secretary Douglas Alexander ne kaha, “Yeh trade deal sirf ek samjhauta nahi balki Scotland ke liye ek historic pal hai, khaaskar hamari whisky industry ke liye. Ab hamara agla kadam yeh hoga ki is deal ko ground level par lagu kiya jaye. Iske liye India aur UK dono sarkaron ko milkar kaam karna hoga, aur British aur Indian businesses ko is deal ka poora labh uthana hoga.”

Unhone aage kaha, “Prime Minister is trade mission ko lead kar rahe hain aur Scotland ke best products ke liye duniya bhar mein awaaz utha rahe hain. UK Government ke support ke saath hamare exporters global market tak pahunch sakte hain. Pichle ek saal se maine Scotch Whisky Association ke saath milkar kaam kiya hai aur mujhe pata hai ki industry ko kaunse challenges ka samna karna padta hai. Yeh trade deal unke liye ek naye yug ki shuruaat kar sakti hai.”

Bharat ke sath naye vyaparik rishton ki mazbooti

Yeh deal dono deshon ke liye ek strong economic partnership ka signal hai. UK ke liye Bharat ek rapidly growing market hai aur Bharat ke liye UK ek trusted trading partner. Is deal ke zariye dono deshon ke beech technology, manufacturing, aur food & drink sectors mein naye mauke milenge.

Scotch whisky exports pehle se hi UK ke sabse bade export segments mein se ek hai, jiska annual value £5.5 billion ke aas-paas hai. Ab jab India mein import tariff kum kiya gaya hai, to Scotland ke distillers ko apne products Indian consumers tak asani se pahuchane ka mauka milega.

Whisky Association ke Chief Executive Mark Kent ne kaha

Scotch Whisky Association ke Chief Executive Mark Kent ne kaha, “UK Government ke prayason se hua UK-India Free Trade Agreement hamare liye bahut mahatvapurn hai. Ab humein is deal ko jaldi aur safalta se lagu karne ki zarurat hai. India ke liye hamare exports par tariff liberalisation milne se duniya ke sabse bade whisky market tak pahunch banana asaan ho jayega. Indian consumers ko bhi ab aur zyada premium Scotch brands milenge.”

Mark Kent ne yeh bhi kaha ki ab har saal export volume mein bade star par vriddhi dekhi ja sakti hai. Is se na sirf employment badega balki Scotland ke rural distilleries ko bhi economic support milega.

UK delegation mein bade naam shamil

Is trade mission mein sirf Prime Minister hi nahi balki Business aur Trade Secretary Peter Kyle aur Investment Minister Lord Jason Stockwood bhi shamil honge. Yeh sab log Bharat ke senior ministers aur business leaders se milkar naye investment aur export opportunities par charcha karenge.

Trade Policy Minister ke roop mein Douglas Alexander ne is deal ko secure karne mein aham bhumika nibhayi thi. Unhone US aur EU ke sath bhi trade deals par kaam kiya tha, lekin India ke sath hua yeh deal unke liye ek historic achievement mani ja rahi hai.

Indian market ke liye naye mauke

Bharat mein whisky consumption lagataar badh raha hai. India mein pehle se hi local whisky brands ka bada market hai, lekin ab Scottish whisky brands bhi competition mein kadam rakh rahe hain. Pehle high import duties ke karan Scotch whisky ek luxury product thi, jo sirf limited log kharid pate the. Ab tariff cut ke baad middle-class consumers ke liye bhi yeh product accessible ho sakti hai.

Analysts ka kehna hai ki agar Indian import tariff 150% se kam hoke 30-40% ke range mein aa jata hai to Scotch whisky ka export double tak ho sakta hai. Is se Indian retail aur hospitality sectors mein bhi bada impact dekhne ko mil sakta hai.

Scotland ke liye arthik fayda

Scotland ke liye yeh deal ek bade economic boost ke roop mein dekhi ja rahi hai. Sirf whisky industry hi nahi balki tourism aur branding sectors bhi isse laabh uthaenge. Jaise-jaise Scottish whisky Indian shelves par badhegi, waise-waise “Made in Scotland” brand ki global image bhi aur majboot hogi.

UK ke economists ka kehna hai ki is trade deal se Scotland ki GDP har saal £190 million tak badh sakti hai. Yeh figure whisky export, job creation aur related industries se hone wale indirect benefits ko dhyan mein rakhkar tayar kiya gaya hai.

Ant mein kya matlab nikla?

Aaj ki taja khabar yeh kehna hai ki UK aur India ke beech hua yeh trade deal sirf do deshon ke vyaparik rishton ko nahi badhata, balki cultural aur diplomatic sambandhon ko bhi aur gahra karta hai. Scotland ke liye yeh ek golden opportunity hai jahan unki whisky industry duniya ke sabse bade market tak apni pahunch bana rahi hai.

Is deal se dono desh ek naye daur mein pravesh kar rahe hain — jahan cooperation, mutual growth aur shared prosperity ke naye examples set honge. Ab sabki nazar is baat par hai ki yeh deal kis tarah se ground level par lagu hoti hai aur aane wale saalon mein iska kya prabhav padta hai.
