(a): The Department of Commerce has launched the Trade Intelligence and Analytics (TIA) Portal as a strategic digital platform to empower India's export ecosystem. By consolidating diverse national and international trade databases into a seamless analytical framework, the portal  delivers  transparent,  accessible,  and  comprehensive  trade  intelligence  for  all  the stakeholders. This integration equips exporters, policymakers, and trade promotion bodies with the ability to monitor India's trade performance in real time, assess global flows, and identify new  market  opportunities.  The  public  interface  provides  India-level  trade  insights,  while advanced  features-covering  global  data,  competitor  analysis,  and  sectoral  trends-are particularly  strengthen  analytical  capabilities  of  policymakers  and  stakeholders  including Department of Commerce, line ministries, Indian missions abroad, Export Promotion Councils (EPCs), and commodity boards.

Key features of TIA portal reinforcing India's export competitiveness include:

- i. Unified Trade Intelligence Hub: A one-stop shop integrating global and bilateral trade data for exporters and policymakers.
- ii. Automated  Analytics:  Streamlined  workflows  replacing  manual  processes,  enabling deep insights into India's bilateral trade with 220+ nations.
- iii. Advanced  Monitoring  Tools:  Dashboards  such  as  the  Trade  Watch  Tower  provide commodity, market, and regional analytics, supporting diversification and opportunity mapping.
- iv. Enhanced  Visualization:  Over  270  interactive  visualizations  across  28  dashboards improve usability, replacing legacy systems with comprehensive capabilities.
- v. Automated Reporting: API-driven collation and extraction simplify access, while monthly trade reports (300+ pages) and surge reports (30+ pages) are fully automated.

The TIA Portal is more than a data platform-it is a strategic enabler of India's export growth, fostering resilience, diversification, and competitiveness in global trade.

(b): The Trade Intelligence and Analytics (TIA) portal  would empower MSMEs, startups, and small exporters to gain a comprehensive view of trade patterns across the nation. The public interface of TIA portal offers seamless data extraction for customized analysis and provides insights  into  top  commodities  traded  with  specific  countries,  helping  users  identify  market trends and emerging opportunities. TIA portal empowers smaller exporters to independently analyze markets, products, and trade trends without requiring specialized technical expertise.

With  all  line  ministries,  departments,  EPCs  and  all  concerned stakeholders, TIA portal will support evidence based policy making.

(e): Key modules like the Trade Watch Tower and Champion Products dashboard help identify market  opportunities  and  priority  products,  while  commodity  analytics  enables  in-depth competitor assessments for strategic planning. Automated workflows generate comprehensive monthly trade reports. The core feature of integrating global and bilateral trade data in the TIA portal facilitates comparative analysis, policy evaluation, and market prioritization, strengthening India's trade intelligence ecosystem.
