India exploring greater opportunities in beauty, personal care sector with L'Oreal: Piyush Goyal

Piyush Goyal meets L'Oreal to strengthen sourcing, manufacturing, and exports from India, leveraging the new Beauty Tech Global Capacity Centre in Hyderabad.

"Exploring avenues to unlock greater opportunities for India's beauty & personal care sector - Piyush Goyal"

New Delhi, May 8

Union Minister of Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal on Friday said discussions were held with L'Oreal Group on strengthening sourcing, manufacturing and exports from India, while also exploring new opportunities for the country's beauty and personal care sector.

In a post on X, the minister said he "held a meeting with a delegation led by Vismay Sharma, President - South Asia Pacific, Middle East and North Africa Zone, at L'Oreal Groupe."

The minister said the discussions focused on "strengthening sourcing, manufacturing, and exports from India," highlighting the government's continued push to position India as a global manufacturing and export hub across sectors, including beauty and personal care.

The talks also touched upon the company's recent expansion in India through its technology operations.

"Given that L'Oreal launched the world's largest Beauty Tech Global Capacity Centre in Hyderabad recently, explored avenues to unlock greater opportunities for India's beauty & personal care sector," the minister said in the post.

The Global Capacity Centre launched by the company in Hyderabad is expected to support technology, innovation and digital capabilities for the company's operations. The minister's remarks indicate that the government is looking to leverage such investments to further strengthen India's role in the global beauty and cosmetics value chain.

The meeting assumes significance as India's beauty and personal care market continues to witness rapid growth, driven by rising consumer demand, increasing digital adoption and expansion of premium and organised brands in the country.

India has also been attracting global companies looking to diversify manufacturing and sourcing operations, supported by policy measures aimed at boosting domestic production and exports.

The discussions between the government and the company come at a time when multinational firms are increasing investments in India across manufacturing, research, technology and supply chain operations.

Finally, some focus on the beauty sector beyond just IT and pharma! 🎉 With our traditional knowledge of natural ingredients like turmeric, neem, and saffron, imagine the potential for premium products made in India. Hope this leads to more local sourcing and fair wages for farmers.

Good initiative, but I hope the government ensures that these partnerships don’t just benefit multinationals. We need strong local brands and small businesses to grow too. The Make in India push should include support for homegrown cosmetic companies competing with giants like L’Oreal.

As someone working in the beauty industry, this is exciting news! India’s digital talent and manufacturing scale are a perfect match for companies like L’Oreal. The Hyderabad tech centre sounds brilliant. Hope to see similar investments from other global brands soon!

While this is positive, we must also address the environmental impact of the beauty industry—plastic packaging, chemical waste, etc. If L’Oreal is setting up a tech centre, I hope they invest in sustainable and cruelty-free production too. India can lead in green beauty!

It’s good, but the cost of these premium products will remain high for the average Indian. The focus should also be on affordable, high-quality personal care made locally. Let’s not just become an export hub while our own people can’t access these products easily. 🤔
