Behind the scenes: How the U.S. lobbied New Delhi to reverse laptop rules

By Economic Times - 4 months ago
India reversed a policy requiring licenses for imported laptops, tablets, PCs, and servers after U.S. officials lobbied against it. The move, which came after behind-the-scenes pressure, raised concerns about compliance with WTO rules. U.S. officials, alarmed by the abrupt policy change, successfully persuaded India to roll it back. The incident highlighted U.S. concerns about India's unpredictable policy environment. India, however, maintains its policies are in the interest of all stakeholders and encourages foreign investment. The reversal followed a meeting between U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai and Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal.
