India has never allowed genetically modified products' import, won't do in future: Piyush Goyal

·Economic Times·Impact 3/5 · Notable

India's government has reaffirmed its stance on not allowing genetically modified products to be imported into the country, according to Minister Piyush Goyal. This policy has been in place since the beginning, and there are no plans to change it in the future. The dairy sector remains particularly sensitive, and it has not been included in any trade agreements. This decision is significant for the Indian economy, as it aims to protect the country's agricultural and fisheries sectors while seeking benefits for other industries like textiles and pharmaceuticals.
