印度的再制造活动仍处于初级阶段。然而，印度经济的大幅增长，加上严重的人口和环境负担问题，要求市场战略和立法的根本转变。印度普遍存在的分散和低效的产品回收方法无法应对社会日益增加的环境和经济负担，再制造似乎是一种有前途的探索策略。我们的研究从用户的角度调查了将再制造建立为正式活动的机会，回答了再制造产品是否会被印度消费者接受以及这些产品如何适应印度市场的基本问题。对印度手机市场生态系统的研究显示了手机目前是如何通过价值链移动的，以及灰色和二手手机市场在这一运动中的重要性。本文提出了一个规定性模型，利用不同消费者群体的使用模式来创建一个自我可持续的供需系统，潜在地补充了诸如汽车再制造决策框架（RDMF）之类的框架。
Remanufacturing activities in India are still in nascent stages. However, the substantial growth of Indian economy, coupled with serious issues of population and environmental burden demands a radical shift in market strategies and legislations. The scattered and inefficient product recovery methods prevalent in India are unable to cope with increasing environmental and economic burden on the society – remanufacturing seems to be a promising strategy to explore for these. Our study investigated from a user’s context the opportunity of establishing remanufacturing as a formal activity, answering the fundamental questions of whether remanufactured products would be accepted by Indian consumers and how these will fit into the Indian market. The study of the Indian mobile phone market eco-system showed how mobile phones currently move through the value chain, and the importance of the grey and used phone markets in this movement. A prescriptive model has been proposed which utilizes the usage patterns of different consumer groups to create a self-sustainable demand-supply system, potentially complementing frameworks such as the Automotive Remanufacturing Decision-Making Framework (RDMF).
