Every time Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal speaks, you would think India is the world’s preeminent export hub. In reality, our share of global merchandise exports is under 3% and shrinking.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.

Completely agree with the Author. Indian Industrialists are essentially traders who are only happy to sell their substandard products in India. I hardly ever see any Indian products in The European or American markets. No Indian brand is known in these places. Infact if you go to a typical Indian retailer, it is full of goods imported from Bangladesh, Vietnam China etc. Hardly any Indian stuff there.
And with regard to FDI, I can’t remember any event done by govt in Germany ( where I live) to engage the local industry to invest in India. Only pronouncements!! No engagement with local journalists. So rocket science that why India is not on top of their mind to go and invest in

Relax Raghavan. Getting very agitated… why did you not say all this when you were part of the economic advisory group to the government?
Now, no point. Every decision of this government is from a vote bank perspective. Not for the country. And when the fake sound bytes from the biased press are pleasing to the ear, the government has no time for realty check.
Look at GDP data jumla. Who can say with confidence that the data is reliable? If last year the economy grew by 9% and this year we are straddling with a forecast of 6.7%… has the economy shrunk???
