Union Minister of Commerce and Industry launched the National Strategic Trade Command Centre (NSTCC) at Vanijya Bhawan, New Delhi.
NSTCC is a centralised trade intelligence and data analytics hub developed by the Department of Commerce under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, in coordination with the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT).
Its aim is to enable real-time trade monitoring, evidence-based policymaking, greater transparency and faster trade clearances.
It monitors Importer Exporter Code (IEC), Advance Authorisation, Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) scheme and Certificates of Origin (CoO).
It tracks licences for Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment and Technologies (SCOMET), export obligations, regulatory compliance and trade performance across products and markets.
It integrates data from the DGFT portal and Trade Connect ePlatform, helping identify trade bottlenecks, emerging export markets and underused Free Trade Agreements (FTAs).
