This is the best summary I could come up with:
NEW DELHI, Aug 27 (Reuters) - U.S. trade chief Katherine Tai has raised concerns with India over the Asian nation’s new order mandating licenses for the import of laptops, tablets and personal computers, according to a statement.
Tai’s intervention comes amid worries the licensing regime could impact shipments from the likes of Apple (AAPL.O) and Dell (DELL.N) and force firms to boost local manufacturing.
Tai was in India to join the G20 trade ministers’ meeting last week in the western state of Rajasthan.
India’s new licensing regime, which is due to come into effect on November 1, aims to “ensure trusted hardware and systems” enter the nation.
It also seeks to reduce dependence on imports, boost local manufacturing, and in part address the country’s trade imbalance with China, according to an Indian government official.
India and the U.S. will also continue discussions to find a solution to the only bilateral dispute between the two nations at the World Trade Organisation, which involves measures by New Delhi on certain agricultural imports into the country, according to the statement.

While this makes it harder on a few American companies, this sounds like a good thing for India? Not just for their local companies and economy, but also so that people get trusted components
Unless I misunderstood
but also so that people get trusted components
no, most of the companies here just assemble or put a made in india sticker on stuff and sell it here. no customer service, no warranty service even with items having warranty. they just blame the customer for everything and try to charge us a lot of money to do anything. i wouldn’t trust anything made in india. infact if it’s made in india - it’s rubbish. just e waste being sold to us.
example - there’s about a dozen companies selling ssd’s and hard drives for around 25% cheaper than the established brands with 3-5 year warranty but those devices don’t last long. ssd’s fail in months or before a year. same with mechanical hdd’s. same with usb pen drives or sdcards. let’s say they are similar to overpriced alibaba trash components.
