The DGFT has issued rules allowing e-commerce firms, including those with foreign investment, to operate an export-only inventory model where goods made in India are held exclusively for export by a separate legal export entity, under strict compliance and payment timelines.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of E-commerce.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to establish a distinct export entity with proper compliance to tap into India's export incentives and enforce quick payment to suppliers. This structure opens a clear export route but tight rules mean cross-entity coordination is critical.
