India needs to lower igst on imported computer parts. Today, most of things are done using computers. A custom pc is more user oriented than a laptop. But due to igst, Our imported electronics like mobile phones and computers costs more than 30% of its original price. Computer parts like processor and gpu are not produced by indian companies, so there no need to protect them when they dont even make these products. This adds extra burden on technical education such as graphics design.

Already we have seen similar issue in footwear.
