The Modi government has clarified the ban on the sale of handsets below ₹12,000 made by Chinese companies. Union minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar said asked Chinese mobile companies to increase their exports from India and clarified that there is no proposal to ban cheap Chinese phones. The Minister of State for Electronics and IT also said that Indian companies also have a role to play in the country's electronic ecosystem but it does not mean exclusion of foreign brands. "Only issue that we have raised and done very transparently with some of the Chinese brands is that we have said that our expectation is that they will do more exports," he added.
