[QUOTE="salian, post: 2388717, member: 95867"] Setting up a mobile phone manufacturing unit with the related patent rights is a serious financial commitment. Especially after Micromax I don't think homegrown investors would set up plants for entry level smartphones unless they had some kind of assured market, even in their early days when they haven't reached economies of scale. Who in India has the money to navigate the patent minefield? I think this is just a trial balloon sent up to gauge public response. Our trade treaty obligations somewhat restrict our ability to provide subsidies to manufacturing or to impose customs duty barriers, unless Chinese manufacturers are seen as dumping. This would have been a great move if there were a host of local manufacturers just waiting for this opportunity. As it stands, there is the risk of creating a monopoly in favour of just one Indian manufacturer, due to these barriers. [/QUOTE]
