I assume the law is for products that can not be produced at all in India. There is nothing Apple does in China that it can't do in India. All the really high tech components come from Korea, Taiwan, etc.
Free trade aside this is a smart move for India: Apple has saturated the markets in the west and needs Asian consumers for future growth. It's been shut out of China despite being based there from a production standpoint. If India can force Apple to shift production to India in exchange for access to its consumers that would be a great coup.
