The Indian government in August announced the imposition of licensing for the import of laptops, tablets, and personal computers.
New Delhi's decision to impose a licensing requirement for the import of computers has raised a brow in the US, multiple media outlets have reported.
The reports add that
American companies, including Apple, Dell, and HP, have urged the US government to ask
New Delhi to reconsider its policy. Last month
US trade chief Katherine Tai also raised concerns with India over the move.
As per the government's guidelines, the import of such devices will be "restricted" from 1 November.
However, recent media reports suggest that the authorities might postpone the start of the restrictions by anything between three months and one year after the US continuously raised concerns about the matter.
"US got a nice market share in India and it will not let it go easily. They will try to impact it from all 360-degree dynamics. This is quite understandable", Dr (Prof) Nishakant Ojha, adviser on cyber and aerospace security as well as counter-terrorism, told Sputnik India.
Lauding the government's move, Ojha said this is an aggressive step taken to push the "Make in India" campaign, which was launched to reduce last-mile dependence on foreign soil.
Explaining why the
government is restricting the import of laptops and personal computers, Dr Ojha also said that India's working-age population is expected to hit one billion in the next decade, and a large number of young people will be seeking jobs.
"Hence, India is seeking to boost the local production while trying to ensure sufficient availability of the consumer electronic devices and to
boost the local production and create a world class tech manufacturing industry in India", he explained.
Media reports also suggest that India's Electronics Ministry is now proposing a simpler import registration process that is due to start in November.
According to news reports, the "imports management system" proposed on 3 August will require
companies to obtain "registration certificates" for imports of laptops, tablets, and personal computers instead of licenses.
