According to the minister, a record level of $250 billion of exports came without hospitality and some other key sectors and an extra focus on services sector can help improve the export growth much more.
India now needs to look at value added exports. It is important to bring jobs to the country. Logistics is one cost where the government is very seriously looking at and if there are any other concerns, the industry may have, we are open to look at each of those, he added.
"We are willing to dedicate senior government officials to oversee large projects. In the larger scheme of things, we all need to support each other to bring scale to the country," Mr Goyal said.
"India has got not only the demographic dividend, a young population, but also a huge talent pool," he said, urging foreign companies to invest in India.
"Come to India and grow with India because India is the future," the Commerce Minister said.
