- FPJ News Network

Apurva Chandra, Chairman of the State Government's Task Force and Chief Advisor to the Ministry of Defence, urged industries to explore opportunities in countries with low export volumes instead of being distracted by increased U.S. tariffs.

Speaking at a meeting with businessmen and supplier organisations at the District Collector's Office in Nashik on Wednesday, Chandra said the real challenge lies in "finding opportunities in a crisis and taking the industry forward". He emphasised that advanced economies such as Japan fall in the low-export category, and industries in Maharashtra should actively focus there.
