Piyush Goyal pitches India as a manufacturing and innovation base for Canadian businesses

The Economic Times, carrying an ANI report, says Goyal made his pitch at a Mumbai reception during a Canadian trade mission to India. He urged Canadian companies to use India for production and exports beyond its domestic market, and to begin commercial engagement before the proposed trade pact is finalized. Goyal said India's existing agreements provide preferential access to markets representing around $70 trillion in GDP; further talks could add $15 trillion.
