India is contemplating postponing its WTO appeal on the ruling that vindicates the EU against tariffs imposed on mobile phones, electronic components, and other ICT products amid heightened concerns that these levies violate global trading rules under the Information Technology Agreement. The international ruling has raised fears in the industry that these import levies might give rise to cheaper imports and hurt domestic production. This break will be a chance for the industry to bring back investors to India that will work hand in hand within the production-linked incentive programs. The appeal against Taiwan is also deferred for 90 days, scheduled in September.
