India to ban replica handsets from China

The Financial Times reported that India is to block millions of cheap copy-cat Chinese mobile phones and accessories from flooding the market. The handset industry describes them as "time bombs" for their often dangerously poor quality, such as exploding batteries.
The Indian Cellular Association (ICA)estimates that of the 4 million to 5 million handsets imported into India each month from China, between a million and 1.5 million are cheap replicas. India is the recipient of about 40 percent of China's replica phone output.
