Commerce minister Suresh Prabhu Wednesday said the Centre will release the new e-commerce policy soon which is awaiting approval from the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP).
"The new e-commerce policy, initially drafted by industry stakeholders, is currently waiting for clearance from the DIPP," Prabhu told PTI without elaborating.
