Government Plans Centralised Exporters Portal; Piyush Goyal To Meet Export Promotion Councils Today

Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal will meet heads of Export Promotion Councils on Tuesday to discuss the creation of a centralised exporters portal, aimed at streamlining trade visibility and access for Indian exporters, people in the know told NDTV Profit.

The discussion is expected to happen at 3:30 p.m.

The proposed portal will be designed to serve as a one-stop platform for global importers to discover Indian goods and services across sectors.

According to officials, it will integrate data from multiple government and private sources, including the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, various export promotion councils, and private trade directories, eventually creating a unified digital marketplace for Indian exporters.

The move is part of the government’s broader strategy to boost exports, especially in high-potential niche markets.

Exporters are expected to gain increased visibility and global outreach, while importers can access verified, comprehensive information on Indian offerings.

The discussion comes at a time when India is pushing for exports to be the next growth lever in the journey to a developed economy by 2047.

Industry bodies have welcomed the proposal but stressed the need for real-time data updates, seamless user experience, and proper authentication mechanisms to ensure credibility.
