"We would not be in favour of whatever you may call them -- used but refashioned, remodelled, updated... used goods. We are not in favour of bringing them here," she said.

Talking to the reporters, she added that, "We are not talking about changing the rule for manufacturing. We are just saying let's be clear on single-brand retailing.
"... Why do we want to have something which is not going to change in any way the parameter in the market and therefore we want to explain it out to the Finance Ministry."
She added: "This is the issue on which we have genuine concerns and therefore, within the government, I want a consensus to evolve."
The Finance Ministry has said that it is against relaxing the 30% domestic sourcing norms that Apple seeks as a pre-condition before it sets up single-brand retail stores in the country, saying that it makes state-of-the-art and cutting-edge technology products.
