Meaning, Chinese companies cannot participate in the bid for any kind of government procurement from the central and state governments. Already in April, before tensions on the LAC, India changed the rules related to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) so that Chinese companies could not take over domestic companies by taking advantage of the fragile situation created by the Corona epidemic.
