These goods are imported for meeting the demand of fast expanding sectors like electronics, pharma, telecom and power in India. The rise in import of electronic components, computer hardware and peripherals, telephone components, etc. can be attributed to transformation of India into a digitally empowered society and a knowledge economy. (c) The Government has issued ‘Public Procurement (Preference to Make in India) Order 2017’ (PPP-MII Order), to promote domestic industry in public procurement of Goods, Works and Services. The Order is applicable to all 10.02.2026 314 Ministries or Departments or attached or subordinate Offices or autonomous body controlled by the Government of India and includes Government companies as defined in the Companies Act. The Order mandates that eligibility conditions, including on matters like turnover, production capability and financial strength do not result in unreasonable exclusion of ‘Class-I local supplier’/ ‘Class-II local supplier’ from bidding process.

For development of semiconductors and display manufacturing ecosystem, the Government has approved Semicon India Programme with financial outlay of Rs. 76,000 crores. The Government encourages Indian business establishments to explore alternative suppliers and to diversify their supply chains to reduce dependency on single sources of supply. Also, the Government monitors the surge in imports on a regular basis and takes appropriate action. Further, the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) is empowered to initiate and recommend trade remedial actions against unfair trade practices. The initiatives taken by the Government have led to decline in dependency on imports in several sectors. For example, the import of mobile phones has decreased from Rs 48,609 cr in 2014-15 to Rs 3,710 cr in 2024-25. On the other hand, the export of mobile phones has increased from Rs. 1,566 cr in 2014-15 to more than Rs. 2,05,017 cr in 2024-25. 10.02.2026 316 In 2024–25, a decline in imports from China was observed across several sectors compared to the previous year.

From 2019 to 2024, notable measures included allowing 100% FDI under the automatic route in coal mining, contract manufacturing, and insurance intermediaries.
