i think more imports will decrease country economy ???
like we are importing only mobiles
More imports will bring more investment. For example Lenovo, Haier & Rovio have entered our markets. Other companies will follow suit.
The success of 3G/4G is main reason for more import of mobile phones.
Modi in india has done a great job in comparison, telling all companies to produce inside india only.. .
This has impacted into more investments and much lesser imports whilst giving the AWAAM the same luxury of lifestyle!
