DNA India says that AMD is trying to level the field in getting government IT contracts.In fact, AMD's Indian unit was earlier looking at knocking at the doors of Competition Commission of India's (CCI) to remove the "virtual monopoly" of Intel in the government business. However, the company dropped this plan due to procedural delays in achieving results and is currently in talks with the IT ministry to make the policy "neutral" to provide a fair competition.
Ramkumar Subramanian, vice president, sales and marketing at AMD India, said, "We have not as strongly gone against them (Intel) here as it is a procedural thing which should be backed by legal reports etc, and that takes time. We are not looking to file a complaint in the CCI against them, but we are talking to the IT ministry to make changes in the policy itself."
