Centre aims to meet 70% of India’s IT hardware demand through domestic production

The Central government plans to meet up to 70% of the country’s demand for IT hardware through domestic production within the next three years and cut dependence on imports from non-trusted sources, minister of state for electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar said on Friday.

“At present, almost 80% of our supplies to the digital ecosystem come from imports and only 8-10% of our supply requirement comes from India. We want to make that 65-70% in the next three years,” the minister told journalists.
