New government norms permit foreign investment in inventory-based e-commerce for exports. Companies must register as Exporter-on-Record to stock goods solely for outbound shipments. Indian sellers will supply goods against confirmed overseas orders for these registered entities. This framework aims to boost India's global e-commerce participation and outbound trade. Safeguards ensure timely payments and regulatory oversight for Indian manufacturers and MSMEs.
