Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal chairs ONDC Advisory Council Meeting

The ONDC (Open Network for Digital Commerce), an initiative aiming at promoting open networks for all aspects of exchange of goods and services over digital or electronic networks, is gaining increasing traction from the industry. A total of seven companies- one buyer side app, five seller side apps and one logistics service provider app – have adopted ONDC protocols and built their own ONDC compatible apps. These apps have been able to successfully complete cascaded transactions across the ONDC network during the pilot phase in five designated cities- Bengaluru, New Delhi, Bhopal, Shillong and Coimbatore - in grocery and food and beverages segments. The information was provided during the meeting of the ONDC Advisory Council chaired by Hon’ble Minister of Commerce & Industry Shri Piyush Goyal to review the progress made in the project in New Delhi today.
