India vs China: After the tension on the Indo-China border in the Galwan Valley in the year 2020, the relations between the two countries have become bitter. After this, the Indian government took several steps against China, including banning Chinese apps, stopping visas of Chinese employees, and banning the investment of Chinese companies. Now India is preparing to take another big step, which will completely ban China's surveillance industry in India.

The Government of India is soon going to implement an order, which will completely ban the entry of Chinese companies in India's surveillance market. This move will benefit Indian companies a lot, while China will suffer an economic setback. In particular, it is likely to have a direct impact on China's CCTV business.

CCTV market will be deeply affected

Under the new order that the government is going to implement, the entry of Chinese CCTV products in the Indian market will be banned with immediate effect. Also, Chinese components used in the manufacture of CCTV will also be banned. The decision is aimed at weakening the hold of Chinese surveillance products in the Indian market and promoting domestic companies.

The government had already issued a gazette notification for this decision, and now work is going on to implement it rapidly. According to this order, Indian companies will be allowed to import components for surveillance products only from 'trusted locations'. Also, the government will give priority to Indian manufactured products and components with the aim of promoting 'Make in India'.

Connection with Israel-Hezbollah conflict

A recent incident is also considered important behind this decision of the Indian government. Some time ago, a major incident took place during the tension between Hezbollah and Israel in Lebanon, in which 'pager explosions' took place at thousands of locations. Investigation revealed that Israel had hidden explosive devices in the pagers, which were activated through a code. This incident has also alerted India, and now India is taking steps to prevent any such security lapses in the manufacturing of its surveillance equipment.

The government aims to eliminate any potential risks associated with Chinese equipment, including the threat of 'backdoor entry'. This order will further strengthen India's security, as the government will have a direct eye on the manufacturing of surveillance equipment.

Emphasis on imports from 'trusted locations'

This government order will allow Indian companies to import components of CCTV and other surveillance equipment from 'trusted locations'. This will ensure that the manufacturing process is completely transparent and under the supervision of the Government of India. This move will exclude Chinese companies from the Indian surveillance market and encourage 'Make in India'.

Indian companies will get a boost

The government has asked major Indian companies, such as CP Plus, Hikvision, and Dahua, to focus on localization, research and development of their products. These three companies currently hold a 60 percent share in India's surveillance market. Now these companies are expected to completely adapt their products and technology to the needs of the Indian market and promote domestic production through localization.

After this order, Indian companies will have to depend on components made in their country instead of products coming from China. This will give the Indian surveillance industry a chance to touch new heights.

Result

This step of the Indian government will not only have a big impact on China's surveillance industry, but it will also encourage Indian companies. Indian technology and security will be strengthened by promoting localization under 'Make in India'. Domestic companies will no longer need to depend on China in India's surveillance market, and this will also benefit the Indian economy.

It is clear from these tough steps taken against China that India will not make any kind of compromise to maintain its security and economic sovereignty.
