In the comments that come amid deep concerns about the impact of high US tariffs on the Indian economy, Goyal asked India Inc not to get carried away by any "negative narrative", and reminded that the country's GDP growth has accelerated to 7.8% in June.

Even as it braces for the impact of the US' tariff moves, Goyal exuded confidence that the overall exports will grow this year and also pointed out that over $46 billion of the $87 billion exports to the US are unaffected by the tariff moves.
