The reason why Apple, Samsung and other giants stopped exporting laptops to India is entirely due to India

[Gearbest News]According to Bloomberg, after India issued import restrictions on products including laptops, giants such as Apple, Samsung Electronics and HP have stopped exporting laptops and tablets to India.

Sources said that major laptop manufacturers have been preparing for some measures by the Indian government aimed at reducing dependence on imports and promoting local production, but the sudden implementation of the licensing system by the latter “caught the entire industry off guard.” As India's Diwali shopping season and back-to-school period approach, consumer interest is growing, and people familiar with the matter said that various technology companies are currently discussing with the Indian government how to obtain licenses as quickly as possible. It's unclear how long it will take for companies like Apple to obtain licenses, but the ban has disrupted billions of dollars worth of overseas PC trade at a critical time.

Just yesterday, Indian regulators announced that buyers will need to obtain relevant licenses when importing laptops, tablets, all-in-one computers, ultra-small computers and servers. This regulation will take effect from now on. The move surprised some of the world's largest PC makers. According to people familiar with the matter, notebook computer manufacturers have been preparing for the Indian government to introduce some measures aimed at reducing dependence on imports and promoting local production, but the sudden introduction of licensing mandates still caught the entire industry off guard.

In fact, before the above-mentioned restrictive measures were introduced, India had continued to increase import tariffs on various complete products including smartphones and PCs many years ago, forcing relevant manufacturers to choose to import parts and components to be assembled and manufactured locally in India. While continuing to increase tariffs, the Indian government also continues to use relevant incentive policies to attract complete machine brand manufacturers to invest and build factories locally.
