Welcome to another episode of the Top Tech News on News18 and in this edition we are going to talk about the recent report about India’s decision to oust Chinese brands from the budget smartphone segment, WhatsApp bringing more features for its users and more.
Indian Govt Looking To Oust Chinese Brands From Affordable Segment
The Indian government is reportedly looking to restrict brands like Xiaomi, Realme and Oppo from selling budget smartphones in the country. According to sources quoted by Bloomberg in this report, the country’s regime wants to stop these brands from selling smartphones below Rs 12,000 and help the domestic brands to kick-start their business once again.

Most of these Chinese brands have managed to form a large part of the segment, and continue to dish out phones in large volume.
The report says the Indian government is not pleased with the effect of Chinese brands on local manufacturers, and a decision to block their business in this segment could be sought. The entry of these Chinese brands has forced the Indian phone brands to rethink their strategy but in the process, they lost the market share in the country, with none of them ranking in the top 10 as per multiple industry reports over the past few years now.
