The Commerce Ministry is pressing ahead with its efforts to build mobile applications which will offer all stakeholders, including exporters and importers, all the relevant information and notifications on their smart phones.
The ministry has set up a committee to decide on types of apps to be developed for each organisation in the ministry, sources said. Private players will develop apps separately for the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), the Directorate General of Supplies and Disposal (DGS&D), special economic zones (SEZs), Tea Board, Coffee Board and Spices Board.
