Govt invites proposals for setting up e-commerce export hubs

After Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in her Budget speech announced the establishment of e-commerce export hubs, modelled on similar initiatives in several Southeast Asian countries, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry has invited proposals to finalise the operational modalities of these hubs.

Based on these proposals, further details, including software requirements for e-commerce export hubs (ECEH) to facilitate seamless and expeditious export clearances, will be finalised, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) stated in a trade notice.
