Target Manufacturing Google Mobile Huawei country Hardware firms chary of govt definition of ‘trusted sources’
IT hardware industry is increasingly concerned about what could be New Delhi’s definition of “trusted hardware”, with the Centre stressing that imposition of import curbs on laptops, tablets and servers is primarily due to national security reasons. Industry executives say that while the government has been successful in restricting Chinese players Huawei and ZTE from participating in India’s 5G rollout after adoption of the “trusted sources” approach, replicating the same for IT hardware won’t be feasible. That’s because unlike telecom equipment, laptops/tablets are consumer devices. More importantly, more than 80% of the market is controlled by non-Chinese firms belonging to the US, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, which are already trusted trade partners of India, said industry executives. Lenovo is the only Chinese firm. Under India’s new rules for security of mobile networks, telcos are mandated to buy network equipment only from entities labelled by the National Cyber Security Coordinator as a ‘trusted source’ and product designated as a ‘trusted’ one.
