228/sc #Supply #Chain #Diversification: #USA needs to urgently shift the labor intensive & medium tech parts of its defence supply chains from 🇨🇳 to 🇮🇳 with the collateral benefit of getting more defence orders under #Atman #Nirbhar production; #GOI must ensure #EODB/#EORC
229/sc #Supply #Chain #substitution
230/sc #Supply #Chain #Diversification . Note that Vietnam is a competitor in location of consumer digital products supply chains. (Reason & solution in next tweet)
231/sc One reason #Vietnam is a more competitive location for electronic supply chains is 👇🏼. Another reason is complex #GST with >15 cesses. Third reason is ancient #Direct #tax #code (even #MNCs buy components, parts & subsystems from SMEs which are a affected by #DTC & #GST)
232/sc #Supply #Chain #Diversification gathering steam, slowly but surely. Currently #China has ~1/3 the world market for telecom & electronic exports, a dangerous dependency, which the #QUAD & #EU+ cannot risk!
233/sc #Supply #Chain #Diversification picking up steam?
234/sc Indian market for many digital products is rapidly reaching minimum efficient scale(#MES)m & only needs a little mental push to shift production from China to India: Continued Govt focus on Ease of Regulatory Compliance would accelerate the process: asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Supp…
235/sc Incentives can be equated, by reducing import tariffs on inputs used in telecom equipment & goods, computer & related products & producer electronic products to a uniform rate btwn 0-5%.
236/sc Learning from competitors is a critical component of successful #supply #chain #diversification
237/sc #Chinese companies wanting to follow #MNCs in shifting supply chains from #PRC to #India, are welcome to form a #JV with an #Indian partner(s) => Good decision!
240/sc Size of labor force & wage rates favour India. A lot of other handicaps have been removed by GOI, others are in process, and some still remain to be addressed! Speed of effective reform implementation, will determine speed of supply chain shift to India viz other cntrys
242/sc A comprehensive reform of customs duties applicable to electronics parts & components & other inputs like plastic & rubber products is a necessary condition for India to compete with Vietnam, in attracting supply chains for laptops, AirPods & smart watches.
243/sc #Supply #Chains finally beginning to move? Reform of #Customs #tariffs, particularly the electronics-telecom supply chain, will broaden and deepen the process.
244/sc #Supply #Chain #Diversificaton
245/sc Vietnam is a star performer in the 2000s. Can India learn any lessons from it?
246/sc
247/sc Supply chain shifts require an appropriate Macro economic policy framework & good quality, “net worked”, infrastructure across supply chain. Product specific policies aren’t enough. Well designed/tailored subsidies help, but badly designed 1s(1 size fits all) can hinder!
248/sc Diversification of US anchored supply chains from PRC to India, needs a further push. Tariff reform can help accelerate the process in electronics, telecom, textiles & garments, the sectors monopolised by PRC
250/sc “China plus one”
251/sc Japanese, Korean & Chinese MNCs are too well entrenched in Asia for us to benefit from #RCEP. Best path left for us, is to attract Western MNCs, by reducing tariffs on merchandise trade with USA+EU+UK to the avg of these cntrys (thru FTAs w 1 RO). bit.ly/3XQ3mXP
252/sc To ensure that Rules of Origin (RO) do not hinder/slow the supply chain shift to India, they should apply collectively to the set of developed cntrys, whose economies are complementary to ours(US, EU, UK, WEur), Ie Value Add condition is aggregable to entire set of cntrys.
253/sc The largest number of #MNCs are still from #USA, & therefore they still run the the largest global supply chains. A #US-#India #FTA could herald a major shift of supply chains from China to India, but is not on the cards, because of US internal political constraints.
254/sc #Supply #Chain #Diversification: “Game on”
255/sc #Japanese supply chains will shift to ASEAN, where Japanese companies are heavily invested and feel most comfortable. India has to target US & European companies
