Just as there have been calls for a boycott of Chinese products since the Indo-China border clash, There is also a demand to make it clear in which country, the products sold on the net, are made . The Department of Industrial Investment and Development (DPIIT) held a meeting with companies like Amazon and Flipkart on Wednesday.
According to the source, from August 1, e-commerce companies will offer new registered products on their sites and from October 1, they will offer information on which country the old products are made in. Although they agreed, the companies asked for more time. However, other sources say that they have already started that work.
It is to be noted that the companies have already demanded to clarify the definition of the country of origin of the product.
According to them, in many cases a product is made in India, but its raw materials come from other countries. As a result, it is important to know what will be the country of origin in that case. They have also demanded to discuss the issue with various parties including sellers and producers. Sources said that DPIIT will talk to the Ministry of Consumer Protection about this whole issue.
However, according to many experts, if e-commerce sites really start to tell the product country, in the current situation, the buying habits of the buyers may change a little.
