The Government of India is stepping up efforts to support exporters, ensuring they remain competitive despite global challenges. Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Mr. Piyush Goyal, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to strengthening India’s export sector by enhancing trade relations, finalizing Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), and promoting global market expansion.

During a meeting with Export Promotion Councils (EPCs) and industry associations, the minister praised exporters for their optimism in turning global uncertainties into new opportunities. He emphasized that the government is working tirelessly to safeguard national interests while boosting India’s merchandise and services exports.

Government’s Push for Stronger Trade Relations

Highlighting the significance of bilateral trade agreements, Mr. Goyal confirmed that negotiations on multiple FTAs are in their final stages. These agreements aim to provide better opportunities for Indian exporters, increase foreign investment, and enhance India’s trade footprint worldwide.

He also encouraged industry leaders to shift away from protectionist mindsets and adopt a more aggressive global approach. He stressed that for India to achieve its Viksit Bharat Mission goals, exporters must align their strategies with consumer demand for high-quality and competitively priced goods and services.

India’s export industry is on track to surpass Rs. 69,50,400 crore (US$ 800 billion) in exports this year, driven by robust performance in services and merchandise trade. While the services sector continues to play a pivotal role in driving export revenue, the minister urged merchandise exporters to expand their international reach to tap into new markets.

The government is actively engaging with key trade partners, including the United States, to ensure stable and favorable trade relations. Mr. Goyal urged exporters to communicate their challenges and requirements with the government, ensuring India’s trade policies align with industry needs.
