A new report claims that DPIIT’s draft is not yet ready for a public release
DPIIT will float the policy to get feedback from retail industry stakeholders
As part of the new Indian government’s 100-day agenda, the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has been working on the draft national retail policy. In a meeting on June 25, DPIIT secretary Ramesh Abhishek said that the trade body will release that draft of the national retail policy in the next ten days.
However, in what looks like another delay, the draft policy is said to be floated “soon”, even though there’s no clarity on when it would be released. In an ET report, an official said that DPIIT will soon release a draft national retail policy to get stakeholders’ views and feedback from the industry. The department is said to have completed consultations on the proposed policy and is in the process of drafting it which will be soon put for public comments.
