BENGALURU :India has launched a pilot project to establish itself as an electronics repair hub with certain favourable policy changes, which has already attracted companies like Lenovo and Flex, the country's IT ministry said on Wednesday.

While India is seeing increased interest in electronics manufacturing, with companies such as Apple pivoting from production in China, its repair outsourcing industry has been beleaguered by certain import-export rules.
Bottlenecks in India also include an e-waste mandate that bans companies from disposing of non-repairable products locally - adding to their logistics costs as they have to be sent back.
