NEW DELHI (Reuters) -India's government has drafted a proposal to ease foreign investment rules to allow e-commerce companies like Amazon to buy products directly from Indian sellers and then sell them to overseas customers, a document showed.
India currently prohibits foreign e-commerce companies from selling goods directly to consumers either at home or abroad, allowing them only to operate a marketplace to connect buyers and sellers for a fee.
