Abhinav Bindra Urges Focus on Global Competitiveness in India's Sports Manufacturing Scheme
Olympic gold medalist Abhinav Bindra welcomed the Union Cabinet's approval of the Rs 1,856.67-crore Khelo India Sports Goods Manufacturing Scheme for 2026-2034. He emphasized the need to focus on global competitiveness rather than just expanding manufacturing capacity, noting India's current 0.5% share in global sports equipment exports. Bindra called for segment-specific strategies, including cost competitiveness in sports balls, specialised engineering in cycling and composites, and greater investment in innovation and product development in sports technology to boost India's export potential.
