Piyush Goyal asks industry players to be bold, focus on turning competitive

MUMBAI: Union Commerce and Industries Minister Piyush Goyal on Thursday asked the industry players to be bold and focus their energies on turning competitive, rather than depending on the government for support.

Speaking at an event organised by the IMC Chamber of Commerce here, Goyal asked till when will the industry depend on the “crutches” of subsidies, high import duties and other similar protectionist measures.

“Till when can we look up to the government (for support)? Or, till when can we win on crutches of subsidies and support, incentives, high import duties, the protectionist mindset, and being very defensive in our engagement with the world?” PTI
