There could be seen “Made in China” products everywhere in India, just like other countries in the world nowadays. But the stories happening in India are somewhat different from those in other countries: the meaning of “Made in China”, is showing its distinctive complexity for this country who is dedicated herself to developing “Made in India” products.
China and India, the most and the second most populated countries in the world, would definitely influence the global economic and political patterns by every step they take. We believe that the great achievement of win-win cooperation between China and India will be accomplished when citizens of both countries make a clear understanding of each other.
和在很多国家上演的“中国制造”故事相似，印度大街小巷也遍布了中国商品。但印度的故事还有些不同：对这个正致力于发展“印度制造”的国家来说，“中国制造”的含义复杂得多。
中国和印度，这两个坐拥全球最多人口的两个国家，其发展过程中的一举一动，都将影响全球经济、政治格局。当两国平民大众，都对彼此有了更深刻的了解之后，合作共赢才是可喜的局面。
Situation现状
After-sale service is the bottleneck of “Made in China”
Delphine Lemaire (Director of Indian operation of ReedExpo Group): Many Chinese enterprises will join in the Indian fairs. As we all known, India is a vast agricultural country, with a great need of equipments for cold storage, freshness retainment and trsportation of agricultural products. We noticed that Chinese enterprises would not supply after-sale services such as packaging, applying and maintaining of equipments because of cost concerns. After-sale services have become the development bottleneck of “Made in China” products.
Chinese cheap mobiles are hot
Wu Shunmian (Chinese student in Delhi University): Chinese mobiles keep 50 percent market share in India, prices of which are from RMB 100 yuan to 180 yuan. These mobiles are popular among Indian peasants and low-consuming populations. The Karol Bagh Market where is located in Delhi is the largest mobile market in India, as well the largest Chinese mobile market across India. Most of these mobiles are imported from Shenzhen, China.
Thought about “Made in China”
Indian people have very complex feelings about “Made in China” products. On the one hand, they wow at Chinese people’s keen observation of their need, but on the other hand they could not help worrying about the vanishment of their local handcraft industry. “Made in China” products show their great competitiveness in quantity and prices, which the “Made in India” products could not fight at all.
售后服务成“中国制造”瓶颈
励展博览集团印度运营总监德尔芬·勒迈尔：许多中国企业会参加印度展会。印度是农业大国，农副产品的冷藏、保鲜、运输方面都有旺盛需求，配套设备的市场很大。但中国企业出于成本考虑，往往不会提供怎么组装、使用和维护的售后服务。售后服务已成为中国产品在印度市场推广的巨大瓶颈。
中国低价手机印度热卖
德里大学中国留学生吴顺绵：中国手机在印度的市场占有率近50%，大部分售价在人民币100元~180元间，农民和低消费人群是主要的购买者。位于德里的卡罗尔—巴格市场是印度最大的手机市场，也被称为全印度最大的中国手机市场，这儿的手机基本是从深圳进口的。
对中国制造的心态
印度人的心情十分复杂。一方面惊叹中国人“嗅觉”敏锐，能在短时间内搞清楚印度人要什么，另一方面又担心当地传统手工业会慢慢消失。“中国制造”量大且价廉，在价格上“印度制造”完全没有竞争优势。
