Our friends at Trade News Analysis have produced a pitch perfect table for students looking at the Indian economy. The most tariff-protected sectors in India are alcohol beverages, tea, cars, motorcycles with import duties in the range 100%-150%.

Theresa May is currently leading a delegation of business people to India with the aim of signing more investment deals between the two countries and to lay some of the foundations for a trade deal (if and) when the UK formally leaves the European Union.
