Its ironic the Indian government keep talking about supporting free trade and often criticise other countries for protectionism, yet now India is on its way to being one of the most protectionist countries in the world.

Amazing decision by Indian Government. It will generate lots of job. It will also reduce cheap Chinese junk in the market. Very good move.

As for Apple, their prices are already high enough that an extra tax won't deter their customers.

There have been mention of 2.1 billion dollars. If the makers make the product and exceed an annual target, they will be entitled to cashbacks on goods that leave the factory. This could also generate around 75000 directs jobs and 125000 indirect jobs which could provide more job opportunities to local people.

At last if companies fullfilled local demand then they will able to export the goods manffactured here resulting gain of Dollars ( forex reserves)
