This is the dumbest policy proposal I heard about in a long time. Talk about committing suicide. Why would India want to starve the country of cutting edge technologies? Idiotic.

I guess we’ll see. But if it works for India (i.e., manufacturers comply and build it there), then the U.S. should do the same.

I think its more aimed at China then US. India isnt asking for the relocation of the research and development but the cheaper manufacturing. Most of the electronic and telecom lower end manufacturing happens in China, not US. India is already losing out to China in hardware manufacturing. This move isn't going to add any greater damage. So what are those companies going to do? Not sell their stuff anymore? Give up on a giant technology market like India? Highly doubtful. If not them, then their competitors will open their shop in India. Someone will fill the gap.
