India-China Faceoff: Centre prepares list of 1172 Made In China items to impose import curb

At least 20 Indian soldiers were killed in a clash with Chinese forces in a disputed Himalayan border area, Indian officials say.

There has been a wave to boycott Chinese goods across the country in the wake of the killing of 20 Indian soldiers by the Chinese PLA troops in Galwan Valley on June 15.

According to reports, the The Department For Promotion Of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has prepared a list of 'Made in China' covering 1172 items ranging from toasters to elevators, and has sought comments from India Inc on import curbs.

This is the second list shared by DPIIT in the past three days with industry associations for their comments. The list mostly covers items from sectors like consumer goods, battery parts, auto components, electrical machinery as well as industrial goods and machinery.

Electrical goods where DPIIT wants to impose import curbs include circuit breakers, high capacity switches, resistors, generators as well as DC motors.

The list also includes goods like elevators, roller bearings, valves, pneumatic tools, parts of food processing machinery and coal handling plants. Critical battery related items like lithium and primary cells are also included in the list.
