At present, there is no policy for e-commerce companies in the country. Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) is preparing e-commerce policy. On setting rules according to their own, e-commerce companies argue that when there is no policy regarding e-commerce in India, then which policies should they follow.
The retail traders all over the nation have now begun to mobilize against e-commerce and quick commerce firms. Retail trader associations Confederation of All India Traders (CAT), Organized Retail Association, Mobile Retail Association and All India Consumer Product Distributors Federation have planned to organize a national movement against e-commerce and quick commerce starting May 1.
BJP MP and General Secretary of CAT Praveen Khandelwal announced that this week there is going to be a meeting of CAT and other associations where the complete master plan of the movement will be made. Gig workers and transporters will be included with women entrepreneurs in the movement.
Customers will also be made aware about the wrong policies of e-commerce companies. According to the All India Consumer Product Distributors Federation, 10 lakh retail shops have been closed across the country in the last five years due to the arbitrary policies of e-commerce companies. It is estimated that there are 1.25 crore retail shops across the country.
