A Pvt. Ltd is an Indian company with 100% foreign shareholding. It is engaged in the sector where 100% FDI is allowed under auto route.
A Pvt. Ltd. is considering a proposal to carry on trading business through e-commerce where it would sell goods to the buyers / customers situated outside India. In other words, it is proposing to enter into retail trade on B2C basis by way of EXPORT of goods outside India. No trading activity would be carried out with the customers in India.
In this context, can A Pvt. Ltd. can undertake export trading activities considering the restrictions on retail trading under FDI policy?
