Paperless trade can spell an export advantage for India—thankfully, it’s on a fast track already
To boost Indian exports and strategic influence, reducing high trade costs for SMEs is paramount. The text strongly advocates for widespread adoption of cross-border paperless trade, promising a 25% cost reduction. India's digital infrastructure positions it well to leverage international frameworks like the UN CPTA and drive regional cooperation. Despite domestic advancements via BharatTradeNet and new legislation, proactive policy intervention is essential to accelerate paperless trade adoption. This will enable India to maximize its export potential and capitalize on opportunities to export trade-tech services amidst global uncertainties.
