Does India is a dumping yard for inferior IT products ?
Does India is a dumping yard for inferior IT & CE Products?
Please post all your comments on the above topic here.
This is a major issue to deal with .The same should be addressed with Good Dealers & the Govt: Authority in India too.
WHY? READ ON.
We are making observations & case studies on many products sold in India in large way are said to be inferior products made in China for Export Only. These products can’t be sold in China as it does not pass any Govt: quality Regulations.
In India The Govt:Still don’t have any regulation & Quality Guidelines for IT &CE products imported to India, Which in turn allows importers to make huge money by selling those inferior products all over India & also attracting huge distributors by offering them incentives, Gifts & Trips based on their sales target.
On turn, these products are sold to poor people to who does not have any knowledge about these makes!
It’s a universal truth that ONLY famous companies makes good quality products, and if they makes any good products then it will be available all over the WORLD? YES, it’s TRUE.
More than 112+ local brands are sold in India alone, 99% of them are sourced from non certified manufacturers and labeled as Indian Brands. There is a huge price reduction in products that does not qualify for country specific quality guidelines.
egg :FCC for US,
Safety mark for Singapore etc.
CE for Europe.
Every major nations have their own quality marks, India also have BIS, but BIS have very poor guidelines even below to a local Chinese maker, Its time to revise the BIS policy or to enforce another new ONE.
Also many products sold in India also have fake/dummy FCC & CE markings too.
the Result:-
As these products are made for export only (to those nations which does not have any import quality & safety guidelines),packed in local naming with attractive boxes to attract customer, even with wrong technical details.
These products may operate only for short duration with low performance or its performance may decrease over time to poor build quality. Even if its fails within warranty period their ASP will give you another one or repair the same.
But you are still owns a product that does not have the total quality. To understand what the Total quality is ,you must use any equivalent product from any famous make (world over) and compare the same!. You can understand the actual difference too.
What really missing ?
for e.g.:
In Mice & keyboards
the packing gives details about higher DPI such as 800dpi or even 1800dpi < ,but actually it may be 160dpi (technically)and the declaration may be interpolated via software.
Also tactile feel (for keyboards) & click feels may be little harder & scroll wheel accuracy & smoothness degrades after long usage.
for power supplies (SMPS)
This is the majority IT part where the real gimmicks takes place.
Majority of power supplies sold under local brand(99%)are made with inferior products, or refurbished or may have relabeled with fake markings & ratings.
Many power supplies sold in India have wrong markings in their power ratings including Amps & wattage marks.many 450W total power rated power supplies are technically have 160-180Watts only, many of these power supplies also comes with some design tweaks to avoid normal cutoffs & to override some functions to "Feel safe" for end users.
These products also cause higher power consumption too.
They also made with inferior components ,resulting in low MTBF & may also cause damage to other system parts too, These power supplies are sold under USD 1-3 $/pc to import agents in India from Hong Kong or China.
Many people may think that they have 2 year warranty on SMPS, but it is actually slowly killing your other components in the case,esp:mainboard & HDDs as it works in "pull power" mode.( it works with totally tweaked power ratings ,rather than clean actual power).It may also result in frequent system crashes, low component life & decreased total system performance !
Cabinets:-
They are also made with low grade materials with poor (absent) thermal & cable management provisions even resulting in short life of integrating components too.
Speakers:-
Many these local branded speakers also sold with fake power ratings (even RMS values),but only may have high volume levels to attract common man. But it even does not have any good quality Audio circuitry And possibly a cloned design from a major manufacturer. They even come with extra gimmicks like LCDs or remotes with funky functions to take more money from those poor customers.
UPS:-
Many UPS also does not proper power ratings and sold with duped ratings ,poor circuits & low quality Batteries (some with wrong ratings marks too),Never fell in its extended warranty offers, look & study its customer feedbacks before buying a UPS.
Monitors:
Never buy any CRT monitors nowadays ,because no one manufacturers the same since 2009, if you are getting one it may be 100% refurbished or " made from recycled parts ",even resulting in higher radiations & risk of life !!
KEEP AWAY from CRTs !!!!
Also try to buy TFTs from major manufacturers only, also take a case study about its local support center feedbacks.TFTs are hard to repair as many parts are not easily available
Fake/Counterfeit Products
Majority of these products are pen drives, memory cards,cases, input devices,headphones & RAM modules as these are easy to replicate as originals.
Please keep away from these and make sure you are getting the genuine item from the authorized source too ,also more guides are available via online tools to validate the same.
Please post your comments & experiences on the above matter here so that the IT community can be saved from those inferior products landing in India !
