As per a Bloomberg report dated April 7, 2026, India is progressively eliminating surveillance cameras produced in Mainland China, citing 'security' concerns. Instead, it is sourcing products from suppliers based in the United States, Germany, and Taiwan (China). India has imposed a ban on importing 'sensitive technology equipment' from China and is in the process of replacing the existing cameras that were originally sourced from Mainland China. India is pushing forward with a project to substitute traditional toll booths with sensorless cameras, aiming to boost highway traffic efficiency. The National Highways Authority of India intends to purchase surveillance equipment for around 1,150 toll booths across the country. It has narrowed down the choices to three suppliers: VIVOTEK, a subsidiary of Delta Electronics from Taiwan (China); Germany's Bosch; and Motorola Solutions from the United States. India has attributed these restrictions to 'security risks.' However, this decision has led to a substantial surge in the overall cost of surveillance cameras in India, with raw material costs escalating by 15% to 20%.
