In a major move towards a more citizen and business-friendly administration, Union
Minister for Commerce and Industry, Shri Piyush Goyal, has unveiled a grand vision
to co-locate all the various arms and offices of the Ministry into a single, integrated
central hub in Mumbai today.
Shri Goyal stated that the initiative aligns directly with Prime Minister Narendra
Modi’s vision of ‘Ease of Living’ and ‘Ease of Doing Business.’ He emphasized that
India’s 140 crore citizens should find it comfortable, easy, and seamless whenever
they need to interface or work with the government.
Reviewing the working of all Ministry offices in Mumbai, the Union Minister noted
that in Mumbai alone, there are 20 offices of 12 different organizations scattered
across various locations, occupying lakhs of square feet of premium space worth
hundreds of crores of rupees. Under the new plan, Shri Goyal announced that the
Ministry will bring all these offices together wherever feasible to converge at one
single, integrated point. This centralized facility will be equipped with high-quality
audio-visual infrastructure, connecting stakeholders to 46 different organizations
under the Ministry. Even organizations without dedicated physical branches in
Mumbai, such as the Spices Board, will be easily accessible through this integrated
system.The Minister emphasized that this turnaround will fundamentally change the way
citizens interact with the Government of India. Dedicated personnel will be stationed
at the hub to respond to any stakeholder requirement, which will significantly bring
down the cost of administration, improve overall productivity, and make life easier
and simpler for businesses and common citizens alike.
Highlighting the environmental benefits of the move, Shri Piyush Goyal stated that
the co-location model will actively promote green governance. The consolidation is
set to conserve energy, save fuel, and drastically reduce unnecessary travel for both
the public and government officials.
The Minister announced that India's export promotion missions will run directly out
of these integrated offices. This structural synergy is designed to aggressively
facilitate trade operations and anchor the nation's ambitious export targets, driving
toward $1 trillion for this year and $2 trillion by 2030.Union Commerce and Industry Minister @PiyushGoyal Goyal will address a media
