Goyal urges Japanese firms to build manufacturing chains in India, target global markets

Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal has urged Japanese firms, particularly those from the Kansai region, to establish manufacturing chains in India. He highlighted India's large domestic market and access to global trade networks as key advantages for companies seeking to use the country as an export base.

Goyal's pitch comes as India seeks to attract foreign investment and position itself as a manufacturing hub. The minister emphasized how Indian infrastructure and market opportunities can enable Japanese businesses to scale production while accessing international markets.
