Commerce and industry minister Piyush Goyal on Monday said he has suggested that the Directorate General of Foreign Trade be rechristened to “something more facilitative, something more collaborative”.
While launching the trade facilitation mobile app of the DGFT, he said: “I have suggested that we now move from the phrase “director general” and went into something more facilitative, something more collaborative”.
He said the DGFT should be rechristened to “really reflect our thinking and the role that we envisage for DGFT in the years to come”.
About the app, he said it is a state-of-the-art system and it will help improve the efficiency of both importers and exporters
by providing real-time trade policy updates, notifications, applications, status alerts and real-time data.
It would also enable exporters and importers to explore item wise exim (export-import) data, policy, and statistics. Besides, it would provide artificial intelligence-based 24x7 assistance and all services of the DGFT.
He also said mobile governance will enable the creation of quality-conscious and cross competitive domestic industry and help significantly contribute to the export target of $1 trillion by 2025.
