Insisting that quality is non-negotiable, he said: Some of the products coming from these countries..you are also importing substandard products which go into your goods and cause huge risk to safety of life and property, safety of the consumers...
I dont see why you shouldnt also be supporting somebody else who manufactures a product in India which you can buy, procure and use in your finished product thereby creating new job opportunities and expanding the ecosystem, Goyal said...
