Organise 2 Editions Of Trade Fair Yearly, Min Goyal Tells ITPO

New Delhi: Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Thursday suggested the India Trade Promotion Organisation (ITPO) to consider holding two annual editions of the trade fair and make it bi-annually.

Presently, the ITPO organises its flagship 14-day India International Trade Fair (ITPO) annually in November. The theme for the fair is ‘Viksit Bharat @2047’. Goyal also asked to look at starting India’s fair in other parts of the world like the US, Europe, Japan, Korea and Middle East nations.

“I have suggested to the ITPO to consider having two annual editions of the trade fair. Make it bi-annually. One which also focuses on our local or swadeshi strength, maybe we can look at Atmanirbhar Bharat Utsav, which we started in January this year, we could look at June type period when we can have our Atmanirbhar Bharat Utsav next year and see how we can reflect the growing technical strength of India, the growing engagement from India to the world and the recognition across the world of India’s high-quality goods and services,” Goyal said.
