New Delhi, July 31: The Directorate General of Foreign Trade, an arm of the commerce and industry, issued a notification amending the import policy of colour television from free to restricted category.
India has now restricted imports of Chinese colour televisions to encourage domestic manufacturing after banning mobile applications and excluding firms from China from participating in public procurement tenders.
India has a Rs 15,000 crore TV industry and over 36% of that is imported primarily from China and South East Asia. India has taken a series of actions against China after the violent brawl between Chinese and Indian soldiers on June 15 along the Line of Actual Control in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh.
