Homegrown retailers to get Govt nod to explore e-commerce

With the Modi government keen on boosting ‘Brand India’ across the globe, providing a thrust to India-manufactured goods, the buzz is the government may allow Indian companies manufacturing 70 percent of their goods domestically to launch their own web platform. Keeping the e-commerce boom in sight and many global names showing interest in exploring the route to India, the government may allow homegrown retailers such as, Fabindia, Hidesign and Biba to pursue their e-commerce plans.
