telecom components to discourage imports and build a robust domestic supply chain as it aims to transform the country into a fully integrated global telecom gear manufacturing hub. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is examining a proposal to impose an initial 10% import duty from January and raise it further to 15% by October next year on packaging items, antennae, WiFi switches, plastic/metal housing items, wires/cables, USB ports/connectors, power adaptors and other electrical/mechanical items, among telecom components, said officials aware of the matter.
