Piyush Goyal has set an ambitious target of achieving 10,000 Geographical Indication (GI) tags by 2030. Currently, India has 605 GI tags, with authorized users increasing from 365 to 29,000. To support this initiative, a committee will be formed to oversee the expansion of GI tags. Efforts include better branding, collaboration with FSSAI and BIS to combat counterfeit products, and engaging private sector players, e-commerce platforms, and embassies to promote GI products globally.
