Exporters: Focus on e-com hurdles
Mumbai: Persistent hurdles in the Export Data Processing and Monitoring System (EDPMS) could limit the growth—especially for MSMEs and new-age exporters, warn industry experts. It is happening at a time when India's e-commerce exports are poised to contribute significantly to the country's ambitious $1 trillion export target by 2030.
