There's excitement in the apple sector over access to 1.4 billion Indian consumers being unlocked. 

Our new Free Trade Agreement with the world's most populous nation takes effect today, with 57% of exports to India now tariff-free. 

The number of tariff-free exports would rise to 82% over time, with the next round of cuts due from next year.
