New Delhi: Commerce and Industry Minister on Wednesday said the government is working on simplifying procedures and making funds available at competitive rates to exporters to boost the export sector.
“Simplification and ensuring that they do not have roadblocks is the biggest package that exporters want,” the minister replied when he was asked about any proposed package for exporters in the face of a slowdown in the economy and global trade tensions hurting Indian overseas shipments.
The ministry has held a series of meetings with exporters to understand their issues, Goyal remarked.
The minister was speaking ahead of the Board of Trade meeting on Thursday. In the meeting, the board will seek views of its members, including government departments, states, exporters and industry members on ways to boost exports of goods and services.
