The EEHs, which will first be set up around Delhi's international airport by February 2025, will house quality and certifying agencies to expedite customs and security clearance
Based on the response from the pilot programme, the government will formulate detailed guidelines to set up EEHs across the country
⁘Our expectation is that the successful rollout of the pilot and subsequent scaling up will have a large number of these hubs operating in different parts of the country,⁘ Director General of Foreign Trade Santosh Kumar Sarangi was quoted as saying.
The EEHs are aimed at giving a boost to the country's cross-border ecommerce ecosystem by providing artisans, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and One District One Product (ODOP) producers easy access to global markets, bringing down costs, and simplifing logistics.
The development comes months after the commerce and industry ministry told cross-border ecommerce stakeholders about its plans to launch a pilot of EEHs .
In September, commerce secretary Sunil Barthwal said that the government is eyeing ecommerce exports of about $100 Bn over the next few years .
