Not opposed to e-commerce, only want fair competition: Piyush Goyal

A day after criticising Amazon for predatory pricing, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal softened his stance on Thursday, clarifying that the government is not opposed to e-commerce but is focused on ensuring fair competition between online and offline businesses.

He further reiterated the government’s commitment to attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) while maintaining “fair play” and “honesty” for both customers and suppliers.
