India relaxes e-commerce investment rules for exports in win for Amazon
Article Summary
HOLD- Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) received a major win after India eased foreign investment rules to allow e-commerce companies to buy products directly from Indian sellers and then sell them to overseas customers.
- The policy restrictions that Amazon and Walmart face have for years been a sore point between New Delhi and Washington, and the relaxation for exports comes just when India and the U.S. are struggling to sign a trade agreement despite assurances from both sides that negotiations are nearly complete.
- The Indian government was taking the decision to facilitate greater exports through easier and increased access of global markets, it said in a statement, with industry groups backing small retailers opposing any easing of restrictions for U.K. companies in closed-door meetings held with the government last year.
- The Confederation of All India Traders, representing millions of brick-and-mortar retailers, argued the change could be abused by foreign companies and give them more control over supply chains.
