Piyush Goyal Urges Industry To Back 'Make In India', Warns Against Irregular Trade Practices

Commerce & Industry Minister Piyush Goyal emphasized the growing global shift toward self-reliance, highlighting how even advanced nations are now prioritizing local manufacturing and resilient supply chains. Citing examples like Japan and Korea, Goyal urged Indian industries to support domestic suppliers, even at higher costs, to foster mutual growth. He warned against India becoming a transshipment hub or violating rules of origin, urging vigilance and whistleblowing against such practices. Stressing the importance of collaboration, he called for unity among industries and the government to uphold India’s integrity, strengthen its manufacturing base, and maintain the nation’s credibility on the global stage. the minister said at a steel industry conference here.
