Bentley Motors welcomed the implementation of the landmark India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), a landmark development that strengthens bilateral trade relations and reinforces the long-standing economic and cultural ties between the two nations.
As one of Britain's most iconic luxury automotive brands, Bentley has enjoyed a steadily growing presence in India, supported by a discerning clientele that values exceptional craftsmanship, performance and bespoke luxury. The India-UK Free trade agreement (FTA) is expected to enhance market access for eligible British manufactured vehicles through a structured, phased reduction in import duties under defined quotas. With tariffs set to decline progressively over the coming years, the agreement is expected to create a more favourable environment for British luxury brands in India.
Bentley offers Six bespoke models: Bentayga, Bentayga EWB, Continental GT, Continental GT Convertible, Flying Spur and Torcal. The FTA currently applies to the Bentayga and Bentayga EWB, Bentley’s internal combustion engine models, enabling customers to benefit directly from the tariff provisions. Both models embody the pinnacle of Bentley craftsmanship, offering an unrivalled driving experience with exceptional comfort, performance and personalisation—tailored to the expectations of the most discerning clientele.
Commenting on the development, Axel Dewitz, Member of the Board for Finance and IT, Bentley Motors, said: "The India-UK Free Trade Agreement represents a historic moment in the trade relationship between the two countries. As a British marque with a rich heritage of craftsmanship and innovation, Bentley views the India–UK FTA as a positive step toward a more collaborative trade environment. This agreement has the potential to enhance Bentley’s market access, support its long-term growth, and contribute to the development of India’s luxury automotive sector." India remains an important market for Bentley, with a discerning clientele that values craftsmanship, individuality and bespoke luxury. Through its presence in Mumbai, New Delhi and Bengaluru, Bentley India continues to elevate the ownership experience, offering its complete vehicle range, Mulliner bespoke personalisation and dedicated aftersales support.
