1) I have not been able to find any notification banning import of used network routers and switches
Generally used items are not barred from carrying it while travelling from abroad to India, however you should possess valid details about the goods in your possession.
If the goods thus imported are for personal use and not for commercial purpose, you may import them by paying customs and excise duty applicable to it. You dont need any license for that.
1. It is not restricted for import if it is imported for personal use.
2. If the desired use is commercial in nature then import is impermissible.
