Summary:

The Commerce and Industry Ministry of India plans to develop 50 e-commerce export centers over the next five years through public-private partnerships (PPPs). This effort aims to boost e-commerce exports, which currently total $5 billion compared to China's $300 billion. The government will establish ten centers this fiscal year to improve efficiency, overcome logistical challenges, and support SMEs. Key locations, particularly in the northeastern region, are being identified.

To ensure the success of these centers, the government will enhance logistics, construct large warehouses, and streamline trade processes. This initiative is expected to support MSMEs and consumer goods companies by potentially creating jobs and emphasizing product quality. A new regulatory framework to facilitate cross-border trade is also in development. With India's ecommerce sector projected to reach $300 billion by 2030, this initiative is timely, supported by a strong internet user base of 350 million active online buyers.
