Fortify domestic supply chains, says Indian minister Piyush Goyal
25 May 22 2 min read
Expressing concern over the excessive dependence on international supply chains, he urged the Indian industry to boost value-added exports and ensure new jobs came into India instead of raw materials going out of India. The minister said the government is striving to ensure orderly behaviour of prices and ensure that businesses add value and jobs.
Goyal also holds the portfolios of consumer affairs, food and public distribution and textiles.
Despite constraints like COVID-19, chip shortage, conflict, rising commodity prices, container shortages and significant shipping and logistics issues, Indian businesses had displayed great resilience, overshooting export targets, he said.

He said India had taken a series of strict measures to tame inflation, keep interest rates under control and rein in rupee depreciation so that growth and prosperity are not affected, according to an official release.
