“It will be a virtuous cycle that we will have to create. There has to be a massive investment to create necessary infrastructure for the economy to rest,” he stated.
On FTA negotiations with various countries, Goyal said that while doing our FTA negotiations, the focus is on opportunities that India offers.
“Developed economies could not have become what they are today if they had not internationalized their economy. We need to engage with the world in a bigger way, focusing on scale, improving domestic logistics ecosystem, focus on quality sustainable goods,” he added.
