Govt to identify 100 goods to cut import reliance
Business Standard
|September 16, 2025
COMMERCE SECRETARY SUNIL BARTHWAL SAID THE LIST WOULD BE OUT IN PUBLIC DOMAIN BY OCTOBER, AND WILL HELP BOOST 'MAKE IN INDIA'
To make India more selfreliant, the Department of Commerce is identifying as many as 100 products, where import dependency can be reduced and domestic capabilities can be enhanced.
"We are identifying 100 products, where we have huge imports, but at the same time we have some domestic capacities. Those imports can be replaced by domestic capacities by improving utilisation of those products. That will be a step towards being Aatmanirbhar," commerce secretary Sunil Barthwal said on Monday.
