The Ministry of Electronics and IT (Matty) is clear that approval for some Chinese investments is important for construction to move to India, as well as the success of the upcoming component incentive scheme, he said that there is Et.The Ministry, therefore, to reduce the norms for investment from neighboring country, he said.
The ideas are associated with the industry people who are demanding a government agreement for tie-ups with Chinese players, as well as the government’s think tank results, who proposed to allow Chinese institutions to buy up to 24% stake in Indian firms without additional checks.

Support for Chinese investment in electronics manufacturing comes closer to the heels of the Foreign Minister’s meeting with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in Beijing. However, government officials emphasized that Chinese investments should only be allowed in joint enterprises with Indian partners and only when there is clarity on technology and method of knowing and how it will be transferred.
“If some players want to add assembly lines in partnership with just a Chinese firm, it will not be supported,” an official Privy of the details said, on the condition of anonymity. Another official said that domestic players need to learn technology processes, and if they have to scale, Chinese support is required. The reason for this is that many components and other manufacturers come from there. Action from China is also important for increasing local value joints in electronics products, which is an objective of the government. Local value joint in electronics has crossed 20% within six to seven years, a large emphasis is coming from the incentive scheme related to production. The government has set a target of crossing 30% in the next two to three years and reaching 38% within five years. China has a local value of 38%, which is the highest in any country. The third official said that the Matty would follow the government’s widespread stance, but originally joint enterprises have been supported where technology transfer has taken place. An industry executive reported that most of the cases made before the Press Note 3 – under which approval of the former government is mandatory for investment from countries sharing Alund border with India – was from Meety due to the requirements of the domestic electronics sector.
An executive officer of a senior electronics said, “It is fundamentally important for the government that an electronics ecosystem needs to be developed in India and if some joint venture proposals enable it, support will be provided,” said an executive officer of a senior electronics who did not identify.
Turbulent relationship
Indian companies are emphasizing on review of trade relations with China, especially related to Press Note 3. In order to promote industry and internal trade, the department tightened the foreign direct investment policy through Press Note 3 in the backdrop of the first Indo-China border clashes of that year.
The local construction of the smartphone and the cost of China has increased rapidly since 2020, the latter has come back with informal trade obstacles since last year. Over the last eight months, it has increased karbs for electronics manufacture.
Taking forward the domestic industry crisis, the latest restrictions on China’s rare earth content make the magic of potential input for smartphone manufacturers in India. China recently asked some of its companies to withdraw trained Indian personnel in an attempt to stop their Indian operations and restrict technology transfer.
India is trying to deep and expand the supply chain by launching an electronics component manufacturing scheme of Rs 22,919 crore to encourage local production. To pursue this, Indian companies require expertise from Chinese institutions that make bulk of currently supplied components globally. Much Indian contract maker, such as Dixon technologies And God (Micromax) has signed joint venture agreements with Chinese partners who are waiting for approval from the government.
India’s electronics industry recently raised an alarm on informal trade restrictions by China, saying that they could reduce its competition and threaten the $ 32 billion smartphone export targets for this financial year.
The industry recently stated in a letter, “These disruption are leading to operating disabilities, increasing the cost of all production to increase all the costs of production, and all the production costs, as this tool is localized locally or with Japan or Korea with the help of Japan or Korea, three to four times more than sugar imports,” the government said in a letter recently, helping to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
Since 2020, smartphone manufacturing has increased in India, with the production of $ 64 billion tools in FY 25, the export of which exceeds $ 24 billion. In contrast, domestic mobile phone production in FY 19 was $ 26 billion. From the 167th rank in India’s export basket in FY15, smartphones have climbed to become the country’s major exports.
