The government on Thursday allowed Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the inventory-based model of e-commerce for exports. This relaxation will allow large international e-commerce platforms to boost exports from India through this route. “In order to facilitate greater exports through easier and increased access to global markets by Indian sellers, the extant FDI Policy has been reviewed and it is decided that the restrictions on the inventory-based model of e-commerce shall not apply in case of exports of domestically manufactured and/or produced goods/products,” Press Note 3 amending the FDI policy said.
