Traders body CAIT today said it is opposed to any move of permitting foreign direct investment in e-commerce retail sector.
The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) said that FDI in this sector would impact small businesses.
"It is regretted that so far no scheme has been evolved to ensure growth in Indian small businesses," it said in a statement.
The traders body also said that allowing FDI in e-retail would be "a big jolt" as the e-commerce players will source cheap products and will sell in India.
"The government should constitute an autonomous board on internal trade to draw a charter for systematic and structure growth of domestic trade in India," it added.
