Industry Urges Duty Cuts and Tax Incentives to Boost Electronics Manufacturing in India

The Indian government is considering reducing import duties on parts and components used in mobile phone and electronics manufacturing to address structural cost disadvantages and support domestic production. Industry groups, including MAIT, have urged duty cuts on critical sub-assemblies and enhanced tax incentives to boost competitiveness, value addition, and job creation. These measures aim to counter supply chain disruptions caused by China's export restrictions and align with broader goals of strengthening India's electronics manufacturing sector.
