We exported almost one lakh sixty six thousand crore worth of merchandise. It shows that the Indian market has bounced back very well and international markets are responding well to Indian exports. It is also pertinent to mention that the food sector has shown phenomenal growth to the tune of 27% and the major markets that have responded well are the US and Canada. We have to work with more responsibility,” stated TPCI’s Chairman.
