New Delhi, April 8 Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Wednesday urged exporters and businesses in India and the US to make greater use of the India-US trade facilitation portal to boost bilateral trade.
He also said that bilateral trade is growing towards USD 500 billion, an ambitious target set by both sides.
"I urge all members of industry bodies, Export Promotion Councils, and chambers from across India and the US to connect, make this portal part of your business and help turn it into a powerful engine for India-US trade," he said in a video message at the launch of this portal.
He said that the portal is a "runway" to the USA for domestic services exporters, and it will also provide opportunities across businesses, from a farmer in Punjab to a jeweller in Surat and a software expert in Bengaluru to pharma firms in Telangana.
Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri on Wednesday launched the India-US trade facilitation portal, as the two countries eye the USD 500 billion bilateral trade target.
Misri, who is on a three-day visit to the US, launched the portal at a virtual event, attended by India's Ambassador to the US Vinay Mohan Kwatra, and officials and trade representatives from the two countries.
