India has reversed its laptop licensing policy following lobbying efforts by US officials, according to government emails seen by Reuters. The policy, which required licenses for imported laptops, tablets, and other devices, was rolled back after concerns were raised by US trade representatives, including US Trade Representative Katherine Tai. While the move was seen as a victory for US lobbying efforts, concerns persist about India’s compliance with WTO obligations and the impact of future policies on trade relations. The reversal underscores the challenges of doing business in India and the complexities of the trade relationship between the two countries.
