Piyush Goyal Highlights India’s Potential as Global Car Manufacturing Hub Amid EU Regulations
India's Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal stated that European automakers may prefer manufacturing in India due to stringent regulations in Europe, positioning India as a future global car manufacturing hub. He cited Tata Motors' turnaround after acquiring Jaguar as an example of successful re-engineering and shifting production to India. The government aims to reach $1 trillion in exports this fiscal year, supported by tariff concessions in free trade agreements with the UK and EU. Goyal did not specify which EU regulations affect competitiveness but referenced concerns over the EU's carbon border adjustment mechanism.
