Looking to help exporters at insurance front to deal West Asia crisis: Goyal

NEW DELHI: (Mar 10) Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Tuesday said the government is looking to extend help to exporters on the insurance front to help them deal with the ongoing West Asia crisis.

He said an inter-ministerial group is keeping tabs on developments on a daily basis and is interacting with exporters.
