No plan to allow FDI in inventory-led e-commerce model: DIPP
The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) has ruled out Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in e-commerce companies holding the inventory of various goods. The government isn't planning to ease the rules even if such products held in the inventory are made in India. Currently, up to 100% FDI is allowed in e-commerce marketplaces that connect sellers with buyers.
