Indian electronics firms are experiencing delays in joint ventures with Chinese companies due to policy inconsistencies from Beijing. This impacts India's goal for self-sufficiency in component manufacturing.

Indian electronics firms are facing significant delays in establishing joint ventures with Chinese companies, primarily due to inconsistent policies from the Chinese government regarding technology transfer. Executives from companies like PG Electroplast have expressed frustration, noting that they are still awaiting government approvals that were expected to be resolved months ago. Notable deals, such as PG Electroplast's collaboration with Highly Group and Hisense Group's plans to acquire a stake in Epack Durable, are stalled. The Chinese government is scrutinizing these partnerships to protect intellectual property rights and ensure that critical technology is not shared. This situation is detrimental to India's ambitions for self-sufficiency in electronics manufacturing, as many companies are reliant on these collaborations to enhance local production capabilities. The delays also reflect broader challenges in foreign direct investment regulations between India and China.
