India will achieve $800 billion exports by end of FY25: Goyal

Ten years of far-reaching domestic reforms and international relationships built by the Modi government have catapulted India to the centre stage of the global economy as a dependable business partner, Union commerce & industry minister Piyush Goyal said on Thursday, expressing hope that the growth momentum will be boosted further when the Donald Trump administration takes charge of the world's largest economy next year.

Goyal told reporters that the government's push to "Make in India" in the past decade has led to creation of world-class modern infrastructure for both domestic and foreign investors. Citing the country's digital infrastructure as an example, he said that India is offering cheapest data at 17 cents per gigabyte as compared global average of $3 to $7 in advanced economies. This, he added, was a major incentive for global firms to set up data centres in India.
