India bans import of Laptops, Tablets and Personal Computers with immediate effect

[Skull and Bones]

u can make ur own laptop/tablet?

im guessing uve never seen the type of work required to make a compelling laptop/tablet

The sub-systems (chips and displays) and SOCs will be imported initially, with final assembly done in house.

I believe the ban in on importing completely built units.

u have poor understanding of what goes into designing laptops

if it was so easy it would’ve been done

Yes and it's already done. HP, Dell, Lenovo already assemble their laptops in India. Now these companies who already assemble will get market advantage, so others will follow.

True, all my years into PhD and Post-Doc into semiconductor physics, and I don't know about computers.

india has a plethora of laptop manifacturers. This is RIGHT decision, which will improve local productions. It is a shame that we allowed these imports till now. Poeple in india are used to locally assembled PCs since 1990's , as i school kid, i had one in those days!

No more IT jobs in India.

India goes back to paper and pen.

I still bet an Indian with paper and a pen can write, compile and run a code faster than you.

India lacks the industrial base & infra to even make the very basics..

Why India is still a WTO member?

China should kick India out of SCO, BRICS and WTO.

Its well known that we are weak in manufacturing, especially in the electronics. But this outright ban of Laptops is a bad move, will greately impact the entreprenuers, who are in data mining, mini servers etc. Should have done in a staggered manner. I guess they are trying to set up assembly plants and eventually move up the value chain. But the decision seems to sudden, with the incoming of "License Raj" feared by many with its recent decisions.

Its being done to curb chinese imports and stopping companies from going to vietnam since vietnam is being used as a re-export assembly hub by MNCs due to it being right next to their supply chains in china since domestic demand isn't that high there.

So I see this as a sane decision, hope so most likely this will now happen here now.

Apple is moving production of its MacBooks and other products to Vietnam as a way to reduce supply chain disruptions. Here is what this means for Apple moving forward.

good move. it will push good companies to build in India and not have to compete with cheap chinese imports.
most importantly we will get better quality and not have to settle for the chinese junk.

While in Bengalure last year I went looking for a non- chinese machine such as Korean made and the two big outlets I checked stocked only the chinese made ones. That has to change

it is a smart move if they can get companies to make some of the parts needed for the laptop in India.
