Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Coje_He for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, October 16 (Xinhua) according to foreign media The Register, the Indian government has abandoned its plan to require manufacturers of personal computers, tablets and servers to obtain import licenses. The plan was announced in early August (without prior negotiation), and Apple and Samsung responded by stopping shipments to India. The U.S.-based Science and Technology Trade Association later accused the Indian government of not giving advance notice or negotiation.

CTOnews.com noted that Sunil Barthwal, India's commerce minister, had previously said at a news conference that the plan was not intended to restrict imports to encourage manufacturers to set up factories in India, but only a monitoring plan.

India has attracted a large number of smartphone makers to India, but has had little effect on computer makers. In 2021, Dell, Foxconn, Wizuangtong and Flextronics signed a production incentive agreement covering servers and personal computers.

HPE also agreed to build $1 billion worth of servers in India within five years, and Cisco is committed to building packages of the same value.

In August of Pexels2022, India's IT minister, Rajiv Chandrasekar, admitted he was disappointed by India's adoption of an incentive scheme for corporate hardware participants and would reconsider the proposal.

As a result, India has used one of the oldest trade strategies-increasing costs, forcing manufacturers to pay more attention to local industries.
