Three rounds of negotiations have been held with the United Kingdom and there is a possibility of a fourth-round soon, Goyal said, adding that he will be meeting UK representatives on May 26-27.
The FTAs will push growth in India and create more jobs as well, the minister said, making it clear that the country is looking for fair, equitable and win-win partnerships with other countries or blocs, a news agency reported.
Pointing out that the country recorded $38 billion in exports in April, the highest for the month after March, when businesses are keen to seal sales before the financial year ends, Goyal said that a closer look at the numbers indicates that India is emerging as a manufacturing hub for high-class products.
This indicates that programmes like the performance-linked incentive scheme and the infrastructure push are bearing the expected results, he was quoted as saying by a news agency.
