India may ease stance on Chinese investment in electronics manufacturing sector

NEW DELHI: India is expected to maintain a flexible approach toward Chinese investment in the electronics manufacturing sector, according to government sources. As per the official, India cannot afford to completely disengage from China as the country accounts for 60% of global electronics manufacturing capacity. He emphasized the necessity of collaboration with China for India's growth in the sector. "We want to grow our manufacturing capacity. So, some sort of collaboration with China is something we can't avoid. Therefore, we have to be strategic about what we do, and how we do it. But it has to be done," said the official. After years of limiting Chinese investments in India, the government is now gradually opening up its market to Chinese companies. Following the Galwan clash in 2020, India took a hard stance on China and its companies operating in the country. It banned over 200 Chinese apps, including popular platforms like TikTok, WeChat, and UC Browser, citing security and privacy concerns. Additionally, firms like Huawei and ZTE were excluded from participating in India's 5G rollout. Investments from Chinese companies have since required security clearance due to national security and data protection concerns. However, India has recently shown signs of easing these restrictions. Reports suggest that China has been unwilling to share technology, and that 300 Chinese employees were withdrawn from Foxconn, which could disrupt Apple iPhone production in India. In response, the Electronics Association has urged the government to implement swift policy measures, warning that continued unofficial restrictions could derail India's $32 billion export-driven electronics manufacturing goals. On Thursday, India began processing tourist visas for Chinese nationals for the first time in five years. While visa issuance had originally been suspended in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions continued because of tensions along the eastern Ladakh border.

Redmi Note 14 SE 5G Is Launching In India On July 28: Price And Specs Expected

The Redmi Note 14 SE 5G launch in India is confirmed for July 28 and the company's product teaser gives us the specs for the device. The Redmi Note 14 series is getting a new model in the Indian market in the next few days. The Redmi Note 14 SE 5G variant has been confirmed to be launching in the country and Xiaomi has shared most of the details about the new phone. The mid-range device is getting an SE version after a few years in the market, and it seems to be buying the budget-conscious buyers who want a reliable brand and Redmi Note has been a known name in this segment for a long time. Redmi Note 14 SE India Launch In July: What We Know Xiaomi's hype for the device comes with taglines like 'killer specs' and 'killer price' which suggests the brand could go back to its roots of bringing value-friendly devices with compelling features. The Redmi Note 14 SE 5G product teasers reveal a big chunk of the features that Xiaomi is bringing to the device. The Redmi Note 14 SE 5G will feature a 120Hz display that gets Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. The phone will come equipped with dual stereo speakers and get Dolby Atmos support. Xiaomi will offer a 50MP Sony Lytia sensor with OIS support. The phone is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 7025 chipset with up to 8GB RAM and possibly 512GB storage for the highest variant. Redmi is packing a 5,110mAh battery on the new Note 14 variant, but has not shared the charging speed details for the device. We expect the HyperOS 2.0 version based on Android 15 to roll out with the device and hopefully the company can offer 2 or 3 OS upgrades for the new model. The Redmi Note 14 SE 5G expected price in India could be around Rs 14,999 and might go even lower for the base variant, if the killer price claim really wants to come through. Xiaomi does need more devices in the mid-range segment to compete with other brands and the SE model will be looking to entice buyers to its side once again. view comments First Published: July 25, 2025, 13:38 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
