Piyush Goyal wants active push towards exports by EPB's
New Delhi/UNI: Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal on Monday exhorted the export promotion bodies (EPB's) to give an active push to exports and maintain the momentum of healthy growth recorded last year.
While reviewing the sectoral progress in exports with the Export Promotion Council, he asked sectoral leaders to utilize the disruptions in the global trade in their favor by occupying the space yielded by some countries.
Goyal asked the Indian industry to support each other and create synergies, while promoting growth in a spirit of nationalism.
The industry should strive to retain export markets even if they are to make temporary changes in their pricing structure to accommodate short term challenges, he said.
The Minister further encouraged exporters to explore products with good export potential such as castor and instructed officials of the ministry to act proactively to highlight such products.
He also called for open channels of communication between export promotion bodies and industry bodies with the Government so that issues being faced may be flagged and resolved at the earliest.
Further, the officials were instructed by Goyal to analyze export data on the basis of sectors, commodities and markets to find out areas of opportunity for Indian exports.
