Despite facing challenges from steep US tariffs, Margherita assured reporters that India's domestic market remains strong, underscoring efforts to promote 'swadeshi' or indigenous products. He noted ongoing progress under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration, highlighting India as a top exporter of textiles and apparel.
