Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has announced the launch of Bharat Trade Net (BTN), a digital public infrastructure (DPI) aimed at streamlining trade documentation and financing for international trade.
The new platform will harmonise with India’s single platform for logistics and align with international trading conventions, and will make cross-border payments efficient and transparent.
The 2025 Economic Survey emphasized India’s digital infrastructure as an economy booster, naming successful programs such as Aadhaar, UPI, DigiLocker, and ONDC, and have consolidated governance, reduced leakages in subsidies, and spurred billion-dollar startups.
India is shipping its DPI models to emerging economies, with National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) exporting its capabilities to nations including Namibia and Peru in deploying real-time payment infrastructure
