In a recently-held vendor-disty meet, the Rajasthan Computer Traders Association (RCTA) and vendors have expressed concern over the issue of cross border material. Mostly, the vendors, such as IBM, HP and Wipro, have sought immediate solution to stop local channel partners from procuring products from places like Delhi.

The vendors have now demanded active participation of the RCTA to resolve this issue as soon as possible. The vendors concluded that such activities are impairing the business, and that steps have to be taken on a war footing to encourage local trade.

Explaining the situation, Deepak Sharda, Secretary, RCTA, said, "The issue is really a serious one, and we have asked the concerned vendors to share the names of channel partners indulge in such practice. This will allow us to take necessary steps."

Delhi and Uttranchal are believed to be the major procurement hubs because of special pricing and schemes largely targeted toward the metro cities.
