India aims to achieve exports worth $2 trn by 2030: Piyush Goyal

India is set to export goods worth $2 trillion by 2030, and restructuring its commerce department will help in making it a key player in global trade, said union minister of commerce and industry, consumer affairs, food and public distribution and textiles Piyush Goyal. Goyal has released the ‘Department of Commerce Restructuring Dossier’ at Vanijya Bhawan, New Delhi.

“Restructuring of the entire department of commerce aims at preparing India to become a key global player in world trade.

The restructuring rests on five major pillars: increasing India's share in global trade, assuming leadership roles in multilateral organisations, democratising trade, creating 100 Indian brands as Global Champions, and setting up economic zones in India to strengthen the manufacturing base and attract greater investments to India,” Goyal said, according to a press release by the ministry of commerce and industry.

The minister mentioned that the focus on exports has been one of the most defining features of the government's efforts to make India a developed country by 2047.
