The Commerce & Industry Minister added that this app will open up international trading opportunities for MSME and foreign players. It will ensure the domestic trading industry gets more quality conscious and cost-effective. The app will ensure the government’s target of $1 trillion export value by 2025 and a GDP target of $5 trillion is met easily.
The app has been created by the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and can be downloaded from https://dgft.gov.in. It is available on both iOS and Android platforms.
