DGFT operationalises export-only ecommerce framework for Indian sellers
The new DGFT framework lets registered marketplaces procure from Indian sellers against confirmed overseas orders, with traceable inventory, seller visibility, compliance controls and payment protections. It could help platforms such as Amazon and Flipkart scale cross-border exports.
DGFT notified an export-only inventory-based ecommerce framework, allowing registered marketplaces to procure from Indian sellers against confirmed overseas orders. Rules mandate traceable inventory, seller visibility, compliance checks, payment protections and dispute resolution, enabling Amazon and Flipkart to resell Indian products abroad.
Why this matters
The move advances DGFT's recent e-commerce export rules requiring segregated inventory and strict compliance, and its clearance of an export-only inventory model for foreign-invested ecommerce firms.
