While the Commerce Ministry has already begun exercise on this strategy, we in the engineering sector would extend our full support, in terms of sharing key inputs and market intelligence from across different territories, mainly the US where the opportunities are galore in the backdrop of robust growth and vacation of space by the high tariff wall for the Chinese goods," he said.
