\"\u2018WillPiyush Goyal at Bharat Buildcore curtain raiser Union commerce and industry Minister Piyush Goyal<\/a> on Friday said India would not compromise its self-respect in trade negotiations. His comments come at a time when India has been hit by 50% US tariffs and trade deal negotiations between the countries have hit a stalemate.\u201cIf any country wants to enter into a free trade agreement with us, we are always ready. But I believe that any form of discrimination affects the self-confidence and self-respect of India’s 1.4 billion citizens. Keeping that in mind, we will neither bow down nor ever appear weak. Together, we will continue moving forward and capture new markets. I can confidently say that this year our exports will surpass last year’s,\u201d Goyal said, as quoted by ANI, at the curtain raiser of Bharat Buildcon in New Delhi.<\/p>\n

The minister also called on industry players to make the initiative fully independent and self-sufficient, while assuring government support to manage trade-related stress. \u201cLet this be a completely self sufficient industry led initiative. And at every point of time the important criteria should be an assessment of its outcome and whether the participants go back happy and satisfied at their investment into this conference come exhibition,\u201d he noted.Highlighting fresh export commitments, Goyal revealed that the iron ore mining and steel industry had pledged to ship 50 million tonnes of steel from India. \u201cNow that could be another sector where we can become a supplier to many countries of high quality and attractively priced products which will help us increase our export. Also diversify our export basket,\u201d he added.Acknowledging the \u201ccurrent situation emanating from certain unilateral actions,\u201d he urged industry to flag affected sectors so the government can help them find alternate markets. \u201cWe in the Commerce Ministry through the missions, are reaching out to other parts of the world to look at other opportunities which we can capture,\u201d he said.Also read: Ministry says won’t have ‘long-term loss’; to expedite export promotion<\/a>He also pointed to steps being taken to boost domestic demand. \u201cWe are also looking at giving a boost to domestic consumption and you’ll soon see the GST Council meeting next week\u2026 so that the impact of these changes can be felt by all of you very quickly and that can give a big demand booster to the entire domestic manufacturing sector,\u201d the minister said.India\u2019s export sector has been facing uncertainty after Donald Trump<\/a> announced 50 per cent tariffs on Indian goods, which came into effect on August 27.In response, a commerce ministry official had said that while the higher duties would hurt sectors like textiles, chemicals and machinery in the short run, they would \u201cnot be a very long-term loss.\u201d The ministry is expediting the rollout of an Export Promotion Mission to support exporters and build resilient supply chains, while also launching outreach programmes in 40 major markets with a special focus on textiles.The commerce ministry is also set to meet exporters from affected sectors such as chemicals and jewellery this week to discuss ways to ease the tariff shock.
