Finance Minister announced the establishment of E-Commerce Export Hubs (ECEHs) in this year’s budget to enhance merchandise exports through cross-border e-commerce. This initiative was introduced in response to the various challenges faced by Indian MSMEs, including intense competition from other Asian nations such as China and Japan, disruptions caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and other macroeconomic issues.
