The government has shortlisted three more companies, including DHL, to run pilots of e-commerce export hubs (ECEH) from five more applications, a senior official said.

The other two shortlisted companies are Go Glocal and Lexship. With this, the number of companies that have been selected to run pilots for these hubs has risen to five.

Last month, logistics enabler for e-commerce Shiprocket and air cargo handling company Cargo Service Centre (CSC) were selected.

Go Glocal and Lexship enable companies to sell on the global e-commerce marketplace by offering logistics solutions.

The new hubs will be coming up in Mumbai and Bengaluru. The two companies that were selected last month will set up facilities around the Delhi airport.
