Piyush Goyal to meet exporters Thursday

India’s goods exports in FY24 were $437.1 billion and imports were $675.4 billion. The ministry has been developing standard operating procedures to negotiate free trade agreements with other countries and could come up for discussion, said another person aware of the meeting. Exporters are also likely to take up the issue of extending the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme to leather intensive sectors such as leather and footwear.
