New Delhi: Commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal Thursday asked industry to support each other in buying components made in India in their finished products..

He also said that quality control orders (QCO) are not meant to stop imports but ensure whatever comes into the country- domestically produced or from abroad- are both good and high quality, and meet the basic standards of safety and basic needs of consumers...

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...

I see no reason why we should have suboptimal quality utensils in our. homesits been there for three years but when it comes to implementation, these delegations come and shoot from others shoulders, Goyal said..
