Union Minister Goyal Assures Facilities for Toy Manufacturing Clusters

Addressing the 17th Toy Biz International B2B Exhibition 2026, organised by the Toy Association of India (TAI) in New Delhi, today the Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, highlighted the remarkable progress made by the Indian toy industry in recent years through sustained policy support and industry-led innovation.

The Minister assured the industry that the Government would establish modern testing facilities across toy manufacturing clusters in the country through the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), National Test House and other government and semi-government laboratories. He urged industry stakeholders to identify and communicate the testing equipment required to ensure that Indian toys meet the highest quality standards for both domestic and international consumers.

The Minister encouraged MSMEs to continuously scale up their operations, stating that every micro enterprise should aspire to become small, every small enterprise should aspire to become medium and every medium enterprise should aspire to become large. He pointed out that export turnover is not included while determining MSME status, allowing enterprises to expand substantially while continuing to benefit from the MSME framework.

The exhibition brought together over 400 Made-in-India toy brands, more than 15,000 business visitors, participants from over 50 countries and stakeholders from across the toy manufacturing ecosystem.

BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj said India’s toy industry reflects creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship and the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat at the grassroots level. She said the sector has emerged as a strong example of the country’s “Local to Global” initiative.

Ms Swaraj congratulated the Toy Association of India and said the participation of buyers from more than 50 countries and the presence of a large number of Indian manufacturers reflect the growing global acceptance of Made-in-India toys.(UPDATED ON 4TH JUNE 2026)
