At present, India is also trying to win over PC makers such as Apple to set up factories in India. However, given the lack of interest by these companies to invest heavily in manufacturing PCs in India, Business Standard reports that India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology is in talks with multinational companies and may rework incentives to attract multinational players of notebooks, tablets and servers. The ultimate target is for these manufacturers to invest in India.
The Indian government has a pretty decent way of attracting investors to the Indian market. The government takes full advantage of its numbers as well as the large market. For every segment, the government initially opens the market for manufacturers to enjoy the prospects in the Indian space.

As of now, there is a large number of Made In India products and the list keeps growing.
