Export data compilation and publishing is one of the major mandate of MPEDA as per the MPEDA Act, Section 9(2)(i). The MPEDA registration guidelines also mandate exporters to submit their export documents on monthly basis to MPEDA. Currently, exporters are submitting the shipping bills and invoices as hard copies to respective field offices of MPEDA and the export Statistics data comprises of details of item (e.g. shrimp), product (e.g.Headless Vannamei), grade (e.g. 21-26), logistics (e.g., port of discharge, destination port) buyer details etc., are manually entered into a client based software system.  The existing system is followed from 1995 onward and comprises of independent field office module, data transfer module and Head Office module.

 

Data entry operators at field office manually enters the export data in to the branch module and the compilation is sent as zip file  to Head Office and ported to HO Module using a data transfer module. Data is maintained as SQL database in server maintained at HO. The reports could be fetched only from HO module at Head office only after the completing the porting of data from all offices that normally takes 45 days. Such a lengthy procedure also involves lot of manpower and drudgery.

 

A new web based e-stat package is suggested to overcome all the drudgery and make the data available at HO on a real-time basis. Work-order for the development of web based e-stat package was given to M/s. Broadway Infotec Private Limited., Noida.

Exporters can enter the export details by uploading system generated pdf file of ICEGate shipping bill which will reduce the manual efforts. Shipping bill details can also be entered by uploading data in excel file or by the traditional manual entry method. The new e-stat package will have more reports, graphical representation of reports and has a dash board giving graphical illustrations of data.

The new e-stat package will be accessible from any location so that user can perform required actions from any anywhere with internet connectivity. Home page of the new e-stat can be viewed at https://estat.mpeda.gov.in/
