In a landmark move aimed at modernising India’s trade ecosystem, the Department of Commerce has launched the Trade Intelligence & Analysis (TIA) Portal, a next-generation digital platform designed to bring unprecedented transparency, real-time insights and automation to India’s trade governance framework.
Packed with over 28 analytical dashboards and 270+ interactive visualisations, the TIA Portal enables businesses, policymakers and MSMEs to access data on Critical Minerals, Trade Complementarity Index, Revealed Comparative Advantage, Trade Intensity Index, and more — all within seconds.
Launching the platform, the Commerce Minister said India’s growing export strength makes real-time trade intelligence vital for foreign exchange stability, global competitiveness and strategic decision-making.
Automation-Driven Intelligence: Reports That Once Took Days Now Generated in Minutes
●One of the most transformational features of the TIA Portal is its automation backbone.
●A 300-page Monthly Trade Report that earlier took several days can now be produced in minutes.
●API-based architecture ensures live data updates, eliminating outdated numbers and manual errors.
Trade bodies, government departments, exporters and small businesses can now take decisions based on fresh, accurate and actionable data.
For decades, high-quality trade intelligence was accessible only to a few large corporations and specialised analysts. With TIA, MSMEs and startups get equal access, levelling the playing field in India’s export ecosystem.
The platform also uses open-source technology, keeping it scalable, economical and future-ready.
Critical Minerals Dashboard: A Strategic Edge in a Shifting Global Economy
As global supply chains shift and countries race for resource security, India’s new portal provides a strategic advantage.
The Critical Minerals Dashboard tracks:
●Global reserves
●India’s import dependencies
●Country-wise supply risks
●Market volatility
This empowers India’s EV, semiconductor, electronics, battery and renewable energy sectors to plan ahead with data-driven clarity.
How the TIA Portal Strengthens India’s Trade Decisions
The platform is a comprehensive intelligence engine that answers key questions:
●Which product has rising demand in Japan, UAE or the EU?
●Which country offers maximum trade complementarity for Indian exporters?
●How can India optimise future FTAs?
●Which sectors show the strongest export advantage?
Whether it’s textiles, pharma, electronics, chemicals, agriculture or engineering goods, the portal captures global demand patterns instantly, allowing exporters to respond faster than competitors.
A User-Friendly Digital Ecosystem for Policymakers & Entrepreneurs
◆Designed with clean, intuitive navigation, the portal is accessible even to non-technical users.
◆Exporters, MSMEs, researchers, analysts, industry chambers and government officers can:
◆Visualise complex data through simple charts
●Track trends in real time

Its purpose goes beyond data collection — it turns raw numbers into actionable strategy.
Shaping the Future of India’s Trade Diplomacy
Experts view the TIA Portal as a major foundation for India’s long-term trade reforms.
It will influence:
●Export strategy
●FTA negotiations
●Market diversification
●Supply chain decisions

As India pushes toward becoming a $2 trillion export economy, the TIA Portal arrives as a timely catalyst — ensuring decisions are faster, smarter and globally aligned.
A New Era of Transparency & Efficiency in Indian Trade
