240 new items to face compulsory quality control
India plans to implement compulsory quality control measures for at least 240 new items in 2024, including electric fans, freezers, water bottles, and sanitary napkins. The move aims to encourage Indian manufacturers to produce high-quality products for the local market and gain a premium in overseas markets. The measures will also help curb the influx of low-quality Chinese products. The quality control orders will be implemented throughout the year, starting on January 1, 2024. Compliance with the orders will be mandatory and non-compliance will result in fines or imprisonment.
