Govt’s move to impose registration requirement for laptop imports a boon for us: Primebook

The government’s move to enforce registration requirement for laptop imports came as a boon for home-grown Android-based laptop maker Primebook, according to the company’s CEO Chitranshu Mahant.

The move (to put registration requirement for imports) “actually came as a blessing to us. We had no issues, but other brands were not able to import stuff. So we had a good market exposure because of the problems,” Mahant told PTI.

The government has put in place a new system under which companies willing to import laptops, tablets and certain components are required to register the quantity and value of imports on a portal.
