Lok Sabha Voting Phase 3: All the latest news

The exercise assumes significance as ministries have been asked to prepare a
100-day plan for the new government.

The official said that these hubs can help further promote exports through
e-commerce mediums.

According to an industry expert, in such hubs, export clearances can be
facilitated. Besides, it can also have warehousing facilities, customs
clearance, returns processing, labelling, testing and repackaging.



"It will be a kind of bonded zone which will facilitate exports and imports of
e-commerce cargo and to a large extent address the problem of re-imports because
in e-commerce, about 25 per cent of goods are re-imported. These hubs are also
kind of export-oriented units and the private sector will have to come forward
for developing these hubs," Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO)
Director General Ajay Sahai said.



Last year, the cross-border e-commerce trade was about USD 800 billion and it is
estimated to reach USD 2 trillion by 2030.



Recently, Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) Santosh Kumar Sarangi has
said that there is a huge potential to increase exports through e-commerce
medium. Last year, the cross-border e-commerce trade was about USD 800 billion
and is estimated to reach USD 2 trillion by 2030.

"We need to reorient our policies to facilitate an e-commerce ecosystem and have
a larger pie in the e-commerce exports," Sarangi has said, adding that China's
e-commerce exports are about USD 350 billion, whereas India's shipments through
online medium is only USD 2 billion.

A report by economic think tank GTRI India's e-commerce exports have the
potential to reach USD 350 billion by 2030, but banking issues hinder growth and
increase operational costs.

India's e-commerce industry is driven primarily by small businesses that export
products valued between USD 25 and USD 1,000. The popular items include
Handicrafts, art, books, ready-made garments, imitation jewellery, gems and
jewellery, home dA©cor, ayurveda products and sports goods. These niche products
have found a market due to their unique artisanal values, the report has said.

India has set a target of USD 1 trillion of merchandise exports by 2030 and
cross-border ecommerce trade has been identified as a source to meet this aim.
