NEW DELHI: Union Commerce and Industry Minister, Piyush Goyal on August 30 called for support from the domestic manufacturers for creating a strong manufacturing hub in the country, adding that, “We need to make Brand India which can only be done with collective efforts.”
He was speaking at the India Manufacturing Leadership Forum: Viksit Bharat – Operationalising Make in India for the World organized by FICCI.
Emphasising the need for partnership within the industry, the Commerce and Industry Minister said that there is a need to engage within the industry not only with the international players.
“We need to brand India which we can only do collectively with all of you. We need to support each other. Industry needs to be a partner not only with international players. All of you need to support each other,” Goyal said.
“An Indian company buying products from another Indian company actually helps to create that ecosystem, securing itself in the long run from any disruptions,” he added.
Citing the ongoing global uncertainty and disruptions such as the Red Sea crisis, Goyal said that we have to be worried about the ongoing developments in the world, but at the same time, we need to offer solutions.
Pointing out at developing the manufacturing capacity, Goyal urged the industry to become an attractive manufacturing destination. “Be a competitively very exciting manufacturing destination. Our manufacturers will write the story of developed India. I hope our engagements with all of our industry, friends, and manufacturers over a period of time help each other understand how we can support this beautiful manufacturing destination,” he added.
