INFLUENCE OF GOVERNMENT POLICIES ON E-COMMERCE SECTOR IN INDIA
The rapid growth of digital infrastructure and policy-driven reforms in India has significantly transformed the e- commerce industry, making it one of the fastest-expanding digital markets in the world. This study examines how government policies—including Digital India, BharatNet, Goods and Services Tax (GST), Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) rules, Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules 2020, and data governance initiatives—have influenced the structure, functioning, and expansion of the e-commerce ecosystem in India. A descriptive and qualitative research approach has been adopted using secondary data gathered from official government publications, policy documents, industry reports, and academic sources published between 2020 and 2025.
