The broadcasting equipment sector amounted to $20 billion, a large portion of which goes towards imports, Jaju said, adding that the information and broadcasting ministry was working towards enhancing indigenous components.
Jaju said, "It is important that growth of the broadcasting industry is also coupled with the growth in local manufacturing and that would not just help us save foreign exchange, but at the same time make all these devices become affordable for the country.”
Jaju said the government has laid special emphasis on enhancing the ease of doing business in the manufacturing sector by decriminalising various provisions through the enactment of the Jan Vishwas law.
"It will be a constant endeavour to push ease of doing business and we will try and create a dynamic system in which we listen to your complaints and grievances," the I&B Secretary said.
