Q.1 Mrs. Soni is heading the Department of Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade. A MNC specialized in making high end smartphones has approached her department to seek approval for importing second hand phones in India. The brand of MNC is very popular among the people, but due to its high cost, only few are able to buy it. Many from the middle class dream to own this brand but are not able to do so. The demand for pre-owned phones is very high in India, but since the MNC is not directly dealing in pre-owned phones, most of the sale takes place in the grey market without any certification. Overall conduct of MNC has been good with the government. Economically also, the decision to give approval seems correct but the Environment Ministry, when asked for opinion, is raising concerns over import of such pre-owned certified phones. Based on this information, Answer: a) Why the environment ministry is raising concerns regarding import of second-hand phones. b) Analyse the conflict present in the situation between the Department of Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade and Environment Ministry. c) Explain the course of action that Mrs. Soni shall take in such a situation.
