FTAs to fuel critical imports, aid growth: Piyush Goyal
14-Feb-2026

India has opted for a calibrated opening of its economy in its recent free trade agreements (FTAs) to ease the import of products it needs, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal said Friday. The deal with the US will aid local manufacturing, he added. “With the US we are hopeful to get more aeroplanes into the country which will be good for our mobility and will hopefully bring down airfares. It will also open up remote connectivity,” he said at an event organised by a new channel. “I can very easily see the aviation sector needing $ 100 billion of imports – Boeing planes, aircraft engines and spare parts.”
