India's Right to Repair: Framework, Benefits, and Disputes

India is working on making it easier to fix your electronics.

The government wants to create a system to score how easy it is to repair things like phones and appliances.

This is because many products aren't lasting as long due to cheaper materials.

Making things repairable helps the environment by reducing waste.

Consumer groups support this to prevent companies from controlling repairs, but manufacturers are wary of losing repair profits.

The goal is for consumers to have products that last and are easy to fix.
