Promote India made goods

Commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal urged industry to promote India-made goods and inform customers about the country of origin — whether they are from India or the country’s friendly or unfriendly neighbours, or other parts of the world — as they should be given a choice to be part of ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat.’

“Maybe as a consumer, I am happy to pay a rupee or two more but get a product that helps somebody have food or pay the bills for education in India,” he said.

Goyal, who is also the minister for consumer affairs, food and public distribution, said consumers should be given an opportunity to support the India story, jobs, and micro, small and medium enterprises.

“It will be a humble contribution from the startup ecosystem towards a better and inclusive India,” he said.
