India looking at getting duty-free access for products identified under ODOP initiative: Goyal

30 Aug 2022 Evaluate

In order to promote exports, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal has said that India is looking at getting duty-free access for different products identified under One District One Product (ODOP) initiative. The Minister said that these products, which include gold jewellery, toys, handicrafts and handlooms, hold huge opportunities.

He mentioned ‘We are doing Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) where we are looking at duty-free access for all these products. So we can create international acceptance of these products.’ In a free trade pact, two or more countries significantly reduce or eliminate customs duties on the maximum number of goods traded between them to boost bilateral commerce. Further, he suggested a five-point approach for ODOP success and that includes - developing one-stop gifting destinations with high quality suppliers; involving students of institutions like National Institute of Design; and extensive training sessions for artisans.

Further, he stated ‘Let us look at creating art and crafts villages at the G20 destinations across India. This can become the seed which will help artisans for years and help tourism and will give visibility to ODOP.’ He also added that programmes like Startup India, Make In India and Open Network for Digital Commerce would further help boost the initiative.
