Minister of State for Commerce & Industry (I/C) Nirmala Sitharaman has launched a dashboard on EXIM Analytics to provide easy access to the public on export and import trends of India. The portal is developed by the Directorate General of Commercial Intelligence and Statistics. This is to facilitate the general public to have an accurate perspective on the facts around the trade performance of India.
Given the high priority accorded to Transparency in Governance by the new Government, the dashboard on export – import will enable small and upcoming businessmen to foray into global trade based on reliable information directly accessible through Government sources, an official statement said.
EXIM Analytics represents data graphically exposing patterns, trends and correlations that might go undetected in text-based data. The dashboard gives a graphical collection of exports and imports from India; e.g., the Export turnover of the country – how it performs over time? What are the export destinations? What items are being exported? Which are the ports – inland, sea or airports from which the exports are taking place?
