Goyal said the Government is set to introduce a fresh innovation fund, and forthcoming guidelines will soon be unveiled

The proposed national e-commerce policy is in the final stages and no new draft will be issued now to seek the views of stakeholders

The Textiles Ministry has also given a nod to 26 institutes for upgrading their laboratory infrastructure and training trainers in the application areas of technical textiles

The Commerce and Industry Minister also sought setting up a regulatory authority to monitor and regulate e-commerce trade in India

The best way is to be out of the start-ups ecosystem, he said, adding the government is not expected to start regulating or dictating or micro-managing the ecosystem

The discussions shed light on the immense potential for Ontario and India to forge deeper trade ties, promote entrepreneurship and innovation, and explore avenues for enhanced collaboration in various sectors·
