Indian Govt bans import of Chinese telecom equipment

Thomas K. Thomas
The Hindu Business Line
New Delhi, April 28

The Government has officially told mobile operators not to import any =20
equipment manufactured by Chinese vendors, including Huawei and ZTE.

Though the Department of Telecom had been informally telling the =20
operators to keep away from Chinese telecom equipment, this is the =20
first time that it has sent an order banning Chinese gear.

The order was sent out by the DoT on Tuesday to some of the operators =20
that were planning to buy equipment from Chinese manufacturers. The =20
ban order follows concerns raised by the Home Ministry that telecom =20
equipment from some countries could have spyware or malware that gives =20
intelligence agencies across the border access to telecom networks in =20
India.

The Government had earlier banned import of Chinese handsets without =20
IMEI number. The DoT move is a huge blow to ZTE and Huawei that are =20
betting big on the Indian market. ZTE had a record-breaking =20
performance in the last fiscal in India by registering a 50 per cent =20
increase in sales compared with the previous year. The ban also puts =20
the new mobile operators in a quandary as most were banking on =20
attractive financing schemes by Chinese vendors to purchase network =20
equipment.

The biggest gainers from the move could be European and American =20
vendors that have been losing market share to aggressive Chinese =20
equipment-makers.
