In the latest sign of warming ties with Beijing, New Delhi plans to quickly clear pending proposals by local companies for importing electronics parts, shoes, household items of daily use, steel products, raw materials and other goods from China and other countries. India had stopped approving such imports after ties with China worsened following border skirmishes in early 2020.
However, recent improvement in relations and surging demand for several consumer goods spurred by the recent GST cuts led the government to consider this step that entails issuing mandatory certifications of plants in China and other countries to accelerate their exports to India.
