‘Designed in UK-Made in India’ strategy

 

Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
Minister Piyush Goyal.

Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has emphasized on leveraging on opportunities in the United Kingdom, particularly post-BREXIT scenario.

He was confident that UK-India Joint Economic and Trade Committee (JETCO) will be a powerful forum through which both the countries will identify areas of mutual cooperation and have a platform where businesses from both countries may resolve their trade-related issues.

He addressed JETCO on 15 July 2019 in London on various issues related to trade, commerce and the services sector that will boost economic engagement between the two countries.

Goyal felt that the joint initiative will expand the economic and commercial ties of India and the UK as both countries are bound by a strong shared past of a 200-year relationship.

He expressed hope that the strength of 1.5 million Indian community settled in the UK become a bridge between the two countries.

He noted that both India and the UK have huge potential to expand economic ties further and leapfrog to newer heights.

On the side lines of the event, India and the UK agreed to set up three new bilateral working groups to tackle barriers in specific sectors including food and drink, healthcare and data services.

The Minister called for fast-tracking of the engagements by leveraging the competitive strengths of each other for mutual benefit.

He said that if the spirit of research and innovation in British industry and academia is bound together with the strength of the skilled Indian work force, the two countries may become the preferred supplier to the rest of the world.

Goyal further added that the skilled Indian manpower has the capability to translate the ideas generated in British research labs to the implementation stage.

Manufacturing in India, in a cost-competitive environment, could be the key for British companies to expand their footprints to other parts of the world.

‘Designed in the UK – Made in India’ can be the new focus area for this partnership, added Goyal.

Similarly, in the services sector, India can provide huge technical expertise to the British companies.

Goyal said that he is confident that India is well-poised towards achieving the US$5 trillion economy goal with a major focus on investment in infrastructure where the UK can share its expertise.

While addressing the CEOs of multi-national companies in the JETCO meeting, Goyal said that India has opened up opportunities for single brand retail and is easing some detrimental clauses of the policy in next few weeks which will help single brand retail come in a bigger way to the country.

He requested companies around the world to respect Indian sensitivities on restrictions of foreign investment in multi-brand retail. Particularly, e-commerce companies coming to India will have to ensure that they stay within the letter and spirit of the law when it comes to multi-brand retail and India’s policies around that.

India–UK trade and economic relations are reviewed annually by the JETCO at the level of Commerce and Industry Minister.

Till date, 12 meetings have already taken place and the last meeting was held on 11 January 2018 in London.

The India–UK JETCO was established on 13 January 2005 to further develop a strategic economic relationship and nurture business led vehicles to enhance bilateral trade and investment. fiinews.com
