The new Indian policy making it mandatory for companies to obtain a licence to import computers and related information and communication technology products will affect nearly 16 global companies with businesses here that are based in four countries, which have friendly ties with India.
This finding about the potential impact of the policy which begins on 1 November came from data collected from industry associations.
The four countries include the US and Japan where around six companies each will face the brunt of the new order. Both countries are key members of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue along with India and Australia.
