\"\"NEW DELHI: Some handset makers<\/a> have flagged confusion created over the Budget proposal to impose basic customs duty (BCD) on populated printed circuit boards (PCBs) only for chargers and not for whole handsets.
\n
\nThey said the announcement appears to have deviated from the government’s notified phased manufacturing programme (PMP). “The finance ministry should completely follow PMP approved and agreed upon along with the industry and IT ministry, and not deviate, which they have,” said Sunil Vachani, chairman of contract manufacturer Dixon Technologies.
\n
\nUnder PMP, which gives a forecast into duty incentives to spur local production of mobile phones, duties on imports of PCBs for handsets was supposed to be announced in the Budget, and imposed from April 2018.
\n
\nHowever, the government imposed a 10% import duty on PCB of chargers, 15% on LCD panels, and increased duty by 10% to 20% on lithium ion batteries, and by 5% to 15% on chargers, adapters, battery packs, wired headsets, receivers, keypad, antenna, side keys and USB cables. This apparent deviation, handset-makers say, puts a question mark on future investments by domestic and foreign companies into Make in India.

\n“PMP provides a direction to the industry, to both Indian and foreign investors but now the industry is confused about how to plan its investments,” Vachani said, adding that the companies were reaching out to the government to seek clarity.
\n
\nAnalysts said that import duty on components such as PCBs and camera modules, besides other components that can be sourced locally, would have a greater impact on value addition and subsequent forex savings. “Current value addition in India stands as just 10%,” said Tarun Pathak, associate director at Counterpoint Research.
\n
\nIndustry watchers feel the lack of clarity could threaten the value addition into local manufacturing the country is aiming for, as it could also deter component manufacturers – which feed into large scale manufacturing – to set up base in the country.
\n
\n“The purpose of notifying the PMP was to give the industry, including component makers who want to come to India, enough time to plan their investments, which takes months. “Hence policy predictability to plan investments is needed,” said Sanjeev Agarwal, chief manufacturing officer at Lava International.
\n
\nLava has already earmarked Rs 100 crore in PCB assembly, which is planned to begin this month with 2.5 lakh units that will be expanded to two million units over 2018. Agarwal said his company would still seek clarity from the government which had given the assurance of duties on PCB assembly, even as it cautiously proceeds with its plans.
\n
\nCoolpad India's chief executive Syed Tajuddin said the government should also give incentives to overseas ecosystem players so that they can plan and invest in India, mostly because all mobile phone players would not get into manufacturing components.

2018年预算:关税充电器游戏手机制造商的印刷电路板

进口关税组件(如多氯联苯和相机模块,除了其他组件可以在本地采购,会产生更大的影响值加法和随后的外汇储蓄。

新德里:一些手机制造商标记混淆创造了在预算提案实施基本关税(BCD)密集的印刷电路板(pcb)只对充电器而不是整个手机。

他们说这个消息似乎已经偏离政府通知分阶段生产计划(PMP)。“财政部应该完全遵循PMP批准和同意的行业和部门,而不是偏离,他们,“Sunil Vachani说,主席合同制造商Dixon的技术。

在PMP,预测到责任激励来刺激本地生产的手机,关税的进口多氯联苯的手机应该是宣布预算,并从2018年4月实施。

然而,政府征收10%的进口关税PCB的充电器,15%在LCD面板,和增加的责任以10%对20%的锂离子电池,并以5%对15%的充电器、适配器、电池、有线耳机,接收器,键盘、天线、侧键和USB电缆。这个明显的偏差,手机制造商说,把一个问号在未来投资国内和外国公司进入印度。

“PMP行业提供了一个方向,印度和外国投资者现在行业困惑如何计划投资,“Vachani说,补充说,公司向政府寻求清晰。

分析师表示,进口关税组件(如多氯联苯和相机模块,除了其他组件,可以在本地采购,会产生更大的影响值加法和随后的外汇储蓄。“当前值除了在印度仅是10%,”塔伦帕沙克说,对比研究副主管。

行业观察人士感到缺乏明确性可能威胁值添加到当地制造业国家的目标,因为它也可以防止组件制造商——给大规模生产——建立基地。

“通知PMP的目的是给这个行业,包括组件制造商想要来印度,足够的时间来计划他们的投资,这需要几个月。“因此政策可预见性计划投资是必要的,“(Sanjeev Agarwal说,国际制造总监熔岩。

熔岩已经拨款100卢比的PCB组装,计划本月开始与2.5十万的单位,将扩大到二百万辆超过2018。Agarwal说他的公司仍然会寻求政府的明确了关税的保证PCB组装,即使它谨慎收益计划。

酷派数码印度首席执行官Syed Tajuddin表示,政府还应给海外生态系统激励球员,这样他们就可以计划和投资在印度,主要是因为手机所有的球员不会进入制造组件。
