In ADCTA's letter to Dell, the association raised questions like-Why Dell India want to stop parallel import whereas Government of India encourage parallel import?, On what grounds Dell India feels that the company has rights to restrict parallel import? and asked for copies of all documents submitted to the custom department pertaining to infringement of rights of Dell India.
