The Indian Government is actively working to make India a global manufacturing hub for electronics by introducing various schemes which attract both domestic and foreign companies to invest in the sector. The article in this issue of International Trade Amicus discusses the Government’s initiatives towards the development of the electronic sector and the actions being taken to protect the Indian producers of electronic goods from unfairly priced imports. It also highlights some actions taken by the developed countries like the European Union and the USA to protect their domestic producers in this sector. According to the author (Pareesha Gupta), the electronics manufacturing industry in India needs the government’s support from promotion and protection measures to decrease its dependence on imports and cement India’s stake in the global supply chain of electronics.
