Goyal also called upon them to contribute whole-heartedly towards the PM CARES fund.Commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal has said that the priority is to keep exports open so that the country doesn’t lose its export markets.
“Even in these challenging times, we have to keep our priority to keep exports open, so that we don’t lose our export market permanently,” he said at a virtual meeting with various Export Promotion Councils of the country on Wednesday to assess the ground situation and problems being faced by them in the wake of Covid-19 and subsequent lockdown.
He assured that efforts will be made to ensure that urgent and important export orders, stuck for any reason, fructify at the earliest.
“The ministry is working aggressively so as to get the exports revitalized, looking for export opportunities to expand,” the ministry said in a statement, adding that the minister noted that many geographies are becoming a matter of concern.
Goyal also called upon them to contribute whole-heartedly towards the PM CARES fund.
India has removed bans on many bulk drugs and medicines in the wake of the pandemic and decided to licence paracetamol and hydroxychloroquine in appropriate quantities to its neighbouring countries who are dependent on its capabilities and those which are affected the most by the pandemic.
“We are globally responsible citizens and we will ramp up our pharma sector for global needs. We are one family with the whole world. We have a lot of spare pharma products, Should we help the world or be greedy. I am proud of the Prime Minister who believes we have a responsibility to the world,” Goyal said.
