New Delhi, NFAPost: The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has said Prime Minister Narendra Modi ‘s target of achieving $400 billion in exports is ‘attainable’ given the post-pandemic economic recovery globally and increasing competitiveness of Indian goods.
The PM has set an aspirational, but very much attainable target of $400 billion in exports for the year. At the current juncture when global value chains are in flux, the multifold strategies to promote exports coupled with a whole-of-government approach make this a moment for India to seize.
The draft National Logistic Policy, boost for project exports and enhancing export insurance cover offer significant encouragement to catalyse exports to new peaks,” CII Director-General Chandrajit Banerjee said.
Chandrajit Banerjee said the PM has set an aspirational, but very much attainable target of $400 billion in exports for the year.

CII Director-General added the prime minister’s address highlighted the Centre’s commitment towards Atmanirbhar Bharat mission for economic growth via exports. He also mentioned that the industry will work with the government on the Districts as Export Hubs initiative with state and district authorities for capacity building of potential exporters.
