In his keynote address, Shri Piyush Goyal, Hon\u2019ble Minister of Commerce & Industry said, \u201cI am immensely proud of how the Mega Common Facility Center (CFC) has developed. It stands on par with the best in the world, truly one of a kind. This achievement reflects Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s vision of making India an Aatmanirbhar Bharat. I am thrilled to see 200 students here, skilled and assured of jobs. The potential for industry growth is tremendous. Beyond the CFC, the Jewellery Park adds even more shine to Mumbai\u2019s gem and jewellery industry. As we celebrate SEEPZ\u2019s 50th year, the Mega CFC stands as a remarkable gift. The modernization of SEEPZ, through vertical growth, will accommodate more exporters and significantly boost exports. Despite the current geopolitical challenges, I am confident that India will achieve USD 800 billion in exports.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goyal also assured, \u201cThe ministry is expeditiously pursuing the process of signing FTAs with several countries to drive exports.\u201d<\/p>\n
