NEW DELHI: India will start a pilot project this week to establish itself as an electronics repair hub<\/a> by relaxing cumbersome import-export rules<\/a>, a move that could draw tech majors such as Flex<\/a> to expand such operations in the country.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has promoted electronics manufacturing in India and attracted the likes of Apple<\/a> and Xiaomi<\/a>, but the country still lacks an industry for repair outsourcing which is estimated to be worth $100 billion globally and currently dominated by China and Malaysia.
Following a push by an industry group for IT and electronics manufacturers, MAIT<\/a>, the Indian government will test changes to lower the time required for necessary approvals for imports and exports to a day from as much as 10 days.
MAIT<\/a> Director General Ali Akhtar Jafri said the government has agreed to ease the approval process for timely clearances with the tax authorities so that devices<\/a> can easily enter India for repairs and then be shipped back quickly.
Bottlenecks in India also include an e-waste<\/a> mandate that bans companies from locally disposing non-repairable products - adding to their logistics costs as they have to be sent back. The government will now allow recycling of 5% of imported goods domestically on a trial basis.
In the pilot phase, which will see participation from companies including Lenovo<\/a> and Cisco<\/a>, India will also permit re-export of the imported electronics goods to countries different from the original one - currently it is banned under foreign trade rules.
Flex<\/a>, Lenovo<\/a> and Cisco<\/a> did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. India's IT ministry also did not immediately respond.
\"Repair outsourcing will incentivise electronic manufacturers to further expand their production capabilities in India. This is a critical step towards ensuring resilience to supply chain shocks,\" said Jafri, who estimated the repair industry in India to be worth $20 billion in five years.
High repair costs in regions such as Europe and the United States are compelling companies to send goods overseas, Jafri said. He added that cheaper labour costs in India give it a total cost advantage of 57% over China and 26% over Malaysia - some of the biggest hubs for repairs at present.

新德里:印度本周将启动一个试点项目,建立本身作为一个电子产品维修中心通过放松麻烦进出口规则,此举可能画等科技巨头Flex扩大此类操作。
总理纳伦德拉•莫迪促进了电子制造业在印度和吸引了喜欢的苹果和小米,但是这个国家仍然缺乏一个行业维修外包全球估计价值1000亿美元,目前由中国和马来西亚。
后由行业组织推动电子产品制造商,MAIT低,印度政府将测试修改必要的批准进出口所需的时间,每天从多达10天。

“维修外包将激励电子制造商在印度进一步扩大他们的生产能力。这是一个关键的一步确保弹性供应链的冲击,“Jafri说,他估计,修复行业在印度价值200亿美元的五年。
