India is proposing to extend tax exemptions for foreign technology companies supplying equipment to local contract manufacturers until 2041, a ten-year extension from the current 2031 deadline. This initiative aims to bolster India's technology supply chain and position it as an alternative manufacturing hub to China. The proposal, submitted to parliament by the Finance Minister, specifically benefits companies supplying to manufacturers like Foxconn and Tata Electronics. Separately, China has approved four new nuclear power projects with a total of eight reactor units, representing the first batch of projects for the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, with an estimated total investment exceeding 170 billion yuan.
