Goyal bellowed at Germany: “We should stop buying German machinery” since some issues with tunneling machines assembled in China were found and that delayed the Indian development of infrastructure. Emphasizing the fact that a more robust partnership should be established. Rising geopolitics, Goyal’s comments highlight India’s ever-growing role in global markets; he urges Germany to change its strategic approach with respect to an increasingly aggressive India.
