Question

write short notes on the interal trade of india​

Answer 1

Answer:

India’s internal trade is many times larger than its foreign trade. This is because of the vastness of the country, its varied climate and diverse natural resources. Unfortunately, adequate and reliable statistics are not available to make an exact estimate of the volume and composition of internal trade. Statistics of bank clearances of goods and traffic carried by railways serve only as a rough estimate of the extent of internal trade.

The figures of bank clearances are not a reliable index of either the volume or the extent of internal trade. Similarly, the railway statistics are not dependable. The amount of goods carried by railway largely depends upon the prevailing conditions of trade and on the degree of competition from road transport services.

Answer 2

Answer:

The internal trade of India can be classified under five broad heads- (a) rail-borne trade, (b) river-borne trade, (c) coastal trade, (d) trade borne on other craft, and (e) trade by air. Information on rail-and-river-borne trade is collected on the basis of the invoices of railway and streamer companies.
