PM Modi urges industry to set up long-term export targets, 'double efforts'

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday urged industry to set up long-term export targets and suggest ways for the government to achieve those figures.

Despite disruptions in the global economy, India’s goods and services exports stood at $670 billion and exceeded the $400-billion target for merchandise export alone, he said.

“Encouraged by this success of the past years, we have now increased our export targets and doubled our efforts to achieve them. Collective effort of everyone is very necessary to achieve these new goals,” Modi said, adding there was also a need to set long-term export targets.
