IT Minister’s Pressing Letter to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman: Boosting Export Progress via Discount in Import Responsibility |

Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the Minister of State for IT, not too long ago penned a letter to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman. The letter, written previous to the finances, proposed a discount in import responsibility on digital elements to spice up the nation’s export development. The confidential letter, reportedly dated January 3, expressed issues about India falling behind China and Vietnam in smartphone manufacturing as a result of uncompetitive tariffs.
In an interview to information company PTI, Chandrasekhar confirmed the letter’s existence. He shared that his perspective was influenced by his former boss and ex-CEO of Intel, Andrew Grove’s ebook, “Only the Paranoid Survive…”.
“Paranoids survive”
Chandrasekhar said, “I am a firm believer in paranoia. As a nation, we should never take our leadership position for granted. The letter I wrote to the finance minister was unfortunately misinterpreted by some. In reality, it highlighted the significant opportunity India has to transition from import substitution-led manufacturing to export-led manufacturing.”
He famous that the worldwide electronics provide chain is regularly shifting from being predominantly China-based to exploring extra hubs.
PM Modi’s purpose is to succeed in pinnacle of smartphone manufacturing
“India has significantly contributed to this shift over the past five years and will continue to play a major role in the next five to ten years. We were virtually non-existent in electronics manufacturing. To quote Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, ‘Three years ago, no Apple phones were being manufactured in India. We were importing all mobile phones. Today, we are exporting $10-12 billion worth of Apple and Samsung mobile phones,” said Chandrasekhar.
He acknowledged the growth as remarkable.
“Our Prime Minister’s ambition is to reach the pinnacle. Therefore, any pre-budget statements or budget views aim to build upon our success. Our Prime Minister has a clear vision to achieve USD 300 billion in electronics manufacturing by 2026-27,” Chandrasekhar added.
In keeping with official information, India has now reached some extent the place 99.2% of cell handsets used within the nation are domestically manufactured, reworking the nation from an importer to an exporter on this phase.
Chandrasekhar concluded, “We have a clear vision in the government and the Prime Minister, that we want to be global champions and leaders in smartphones, IT, laptops, servers, and hardware, and play the role of a trusted partner to the GVCs for enterprises, governments, and people worldwide.”
