Modi's leadership has pushed growth of overall trade: FIEO chief

Hailing Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his win in the 2019 general elections, apex exporters' body FIEO Thursday said it is looking forward for the continuous guidance and support of the new government to push the country's trade. Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) President Ganesh Kumar Gupta said Modi's leadership has pushed the growth of the overall trade.

"The exporting fraternity looks forward to his continuous guidance and support encompassing economic growth, sustainable and inclusive development for all," he said in a statement. Gupta said the country has again reposed faith in him for a strong and stable government, which would further enhance the investment climate and propel the economy towards higher trajectory.

The Trade Promotion Council of India (TPCI) said the stability and predictability in terms of political leadership will help India remain a critical player in moving global business. "Our special emphasis to the agri-exports and efforts in doubling the farmers' income will get a massive leg-up during Prime Minister (Narendra) Modi's second term," TPCI Chairman Mohit Singla said.
