New Delhi, April 28, 2017: The Commerce and Industry Ministry is working on fixing the nuts and bolts of a policy to give preference to domestically manufactured goods in government procurement with a view to promoting Make in India.

“The policy would be in tune with the Make in India initiative. Both the departments of commerce and industry have advocated such a policy,” a senior commerce ministry official said.

The official said the global trade rules of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) allow member countries to prefer domestically made products for government procurement purposes.
