New Delhi, June 15: Government would soon set up a taskforce on IT hardware comprising exclusively of industry members which would suggest measures to make India a global IT hardware destination.
"We will set up a hardware task force. It will not be taskforce of Government, but will be a taskforce of the industry," IT Minister Arun Shourie said on the sidelines of a ESC award ceremony.
He said that the taskforce would compile the demand list of the IT hardware industry, while also recommending ways to promote India as a manufacturing destination.
Asking the industry to prepare a checklist of demands, Shourie said, "We will see how much we can deliver on the checklist."
The task force will help identify 40-50 companies, approach them directly, list their needs and persuade them to make India one of the key electronics and hardware manufacturers directly, he added.
