Indian minister of commerce and industry and textile Piyush Goyal has called for increasing India's share in global trade to 10 per cent and taking its share of exports in GDP to about 25 per cent. “These are ambitious targets, but I think doable,” said Goyal while addressing the closing session of the post-budget webinar on ‘Make in India for the World’.

Goyal said the Prime Minister, in his inaugural address to the webinar, renewed emphasis to promote manufacturing and make India self-sufficient. “Today other countries are also talking of programmes very similar to AatmaNirbhar Bharat. And I think there can be no better endorsement of the importance and the success of this vision than the fact that the world today wants to emulate the India story.”

“Let all of us become job creators, let all of us work towards strengthening India’s manufacturing ecosystem in a collaborative approach, let’s all of us make India AatmaNirbhar,” he said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also delivered the special address to the webinar organised by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), ministry of commerce and industry.

Following the opening session, three consecutive sessions were held covering Paradigm shift in manufacturing in India @ 100; Charting out the strategy for realising India’s trillion-dollar goal in exports; and exploring how the MSMEs will act as the growth engine for Indian economy.
