 "Piyush Goyal")
India's economy has grown due to its trustworthiness, decisive leadership and democratic structure favouring transparency at all levels, Union Commerce, Industry and Textile Minister Piyush Goyal has said.
The country, which is now a USD 3 trillion economy, has announced a stable policy framework and respected every investment made across sectors, Goyal said during an exclusive interaction meeting with members of CII in association with the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Government of India and Invest India organised here on Saturday evening.
Members from the textile, light engineering and ICT sectors participated in the meeting.
Stating that DPIIT reforms are empowering Indian industries to bring about global growth, Goyal said the importance of launching the ONDC network (Open Network for Digital Commerce) has the potential to break barriers by enabling and empowering customers to engage with sellers of their choice seamlessly.
Goyal said current e-commerce platforms were restrictive and favour products of the platform developers' choice but through ONDC, MSMEs and startups can harness opportunities provided by digital advancement in connecting with their costumers, an official release said here on Sunday.
