“The panel met with Taiwanese, Korean, American and European companies last week and is now working out a report on how to ease our domestic our domestic policies and wean these companies away to India as soon as possible,” a person briefed on the meeting told ET. Chinese companies were not a part of the meeting. Emails sent to the companies and others including Cisco, Siemens, Foxconn, GE, HP and Bosch, went unanswered at press time.
