Speaking at a Ficci event, Som Parkash, Minister of State for Commerce & Industry, said, the National Retail Trade Policy is being formulated to support the development of the sector and will benefit 65 million small traders. “These endeavours along with the support of the industry would help in contributing a significant chunk to India’s GDP,” he added.
