New Delhi, Feb 10 (.) union Minister for Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, on Tuesday said the domestic trade has been significantly strengthened, while the global markets are simultaneously opening new avenues for Indian products, propelling the Indian economy towards a higher growth trajectory.
Goyal said that under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India’s trade ecosystem is undergoing a historic and rapid transformation.
His remarks came during an interaction with a delegation of the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), led by Member of Parliament Praveen Khandelwal at Vanijya Bhawan.
“India and the US have just signed a historic interim trade deal framework, which marks a major milestone in India’s global trade engagement, securing sustained preferential access for exports in the US market valued at over USD 30 trillion,” he said.
Minister Goyal also highlighted the ‘Bharatiya Vyapar Mahotsav’ to be organised by the CAIT from May 1-4 at Bharat Mandapam, and said the event would effectively carry forward PM Modi’s call to sell and buy Indian products across the country and the world.
The minister noted that the mega event would showcase the strength, capability, and potential of India’s trade, industry, and services sector on a global platform.
“It must be ensured that the Bharatiya Vyapar Mahotsav plays a significant role in further strengthening the Indian economy,” he said.
He also emphasised the need to provide special space and visibility to entrepreneurs from remote regions of the country so that their indigenous products receive access to larger markets.
As per the information shared by CAIT, Bharatiya Vyapar Mahotsav would feature nearly 2,200 stalls, showcasing Indian products and services from across the country.
The Mahotsav is expected to attract around 10 lakh visitors from all states, including nearly 2 lakh business visitors.
