Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal highlighted the importance of quality in India’s manufacturing and export sectors during the National Quality Conclave. He emphasized the need for India to focus on producing high-quality goods and services to achieve long-term economic goals. Goyal mentioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of “zero defect, zero effect” as crucial for India’s growth and development.
Goyal stated that India should aim to become a global producer known for reliability, trust, and excellence. He pointed out that to reach the target of $2 trillion in exports, Indian products must meet international standards. India has signed multiple free trade agreements to enhance trade opportunities, especially in sectors like textiles, leather, footwear, and pharmaceuticals.
The minister urged Indian companies to maintain high-quality standards to fully benefit from these agreements. He emphasized the need for Indian goods to match global quality levels to boost exports. Goyal also highlighted the importance of ending the dual-quality system and implementing uniform standards for both domestic and international markets.
