India relaxes e-commerce investment rules for exports in win for Amazon

India eased foreign investment rules to let e-commerce platforms buy directly from Indian sellers and ship/sell to overseas customers, a policy change Amazon had lobbied for over months. The change improves cross-border fulfillment economics for marketplaces while potentially increasing competition for other channels serving global shoppers. This is likely to be material for sector participants rather than just routine regulatory noise.
