Since (July-June) 2019-2020, we have observed that almost 81.32% growth has been made in imports of mobile phones, reaching $1.369 Billion compared to $755.548 Million during the same period last year.
Telecom experts are thinking that possibly this huge increase in mobile phone imports are due to the implementation of Device Identification Registration and Blocking System (DIRBS), which is a system that recognizes the non-compliant devices operating on local mobile networks. It automatically registers compliant devices operating on the mobile networks and in the end blocks all non-compliant devices.
In June 2020, mobile phone imports increased by 300.62% and made $231.303 Million which is quite unusual if we compare it with June 2019 imports, which stood at $57.736 Million.
