Overview

Quality standards, accreditations and regulatory approvals - USFDA, GMP, NABH/NABL, device rules - that gate market access and add compliance cost.
US FDA warning letters & import alerts
The escalation ladder after a USFDA site inspection: Form 483 observations, then a Warning Letter citing CGMP violations, then Import Alert 66-40, which lets US border officials detain that site's shipments without physical examination
Action is facility-specific rather than company-wide, and a site stays listed until the letter is closed out - typically a multi-year remediation

Schedule M (GMP)
India's statutory Good Manufacturing Practices standard under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940. The revised Schedule M notified Dec 2023 aligned Indian GMP with WHO-GMP, PIC/S and ICH Q10, mandating quality systems, risk management, lifecycle validation and product quality review
Large firms complied by Jun 2024; MSMEs were given to 31 Dec 2025, with risk-based inspections from Jan 2026
... Read more
DEG contamination
Diethylene glycol is a cheap industrial solvent chemically similar to pharmaceutical-grade propylene glycol, the standard base in liquid medicines. Substituted or mixed in, it causes acute kidney injury and death, especially in children; the pharmacopeial limit is 0.1%
In the 2025 Indian episode a Coldrif batch from Sresan Pharmaceuticals tested at ~48% DEG and at least 22-24 children died
... Read more
NABH accreditation
Accreditation run by the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers, a Quality Council of India body, assessing hospitals against 600+ standards covering patient safety, infrastructure, staff qualification and clinical process
Two stages - Entry Level Certification, valid two years, and Full Accreditation, valid three. Nominally voluntary, but increasingly a commercial prerequisite
... Read more
NBCS 2026 (National Building Code for hospitals)
The National Building Construction Standards 2026, notified by the Bureau of Indian Standards to replace the National Building Code 2016. The change of consequence for hospitals is removal of the 45-metre height cap, subject to enhanced fire safety provisions
The 2016 code limited hospitals to ~45 m or 12-15 floors with ICUs within 30 m; ICUs may now sit above 45 m
... Read more
NABL/CAP accreditation
Quality accreditation for diagnostic laboratories. NABL, under the Quality Council of India, certifies testing competence to ISO 15189; CAP, run by the US College of American Pathologists, is the stricter international standard used by reference and oncology labs
Both require documented processes, proficiency testing and periodic reassessment, and cover the lab rather than the organisation
... Read more
PNDT Act (prenatal diagnostic techniques restrictions)
The Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act, 1994, amended 2003, enacted to curb sex-selective abortion. Every ultrasound machine, clinic and sonologist must be registered with the Appropriate Authority
Form F must be completed for every scan and preserved two years, monthly returns filed, and disclosure of foetal sex is prohibited outright
... Read more
Medical Devices Rules, 2017
Effective Jan 2018, the first framework treating devices separately from drugs. Devices are classified A to D by risk on the GHTF model, with Class A/B licensed by states and Class C/D by CDSCO centrally
Manufacturers must run an ISO 13485 quality system; licences are perpetual subject to retention. Since Oct 2023 all Class C and D devices need a licence, ending the notified vs non-notified split
... Read more
CDSCO
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation, under the Ministry of Health, is India's national regulator for drugs, medical devices, IVDs, vaccines and clinical trials, headed by the Drugs Controller General of India
It approves new drugs and trials, licenses imports and high-risk Class C/D devices, runs inspections and recalls, and shares jurisdiction with state authorities, which license most manufacturing and all Class A/B devices
... Read more
Bharat NCAP
India's own crash-test rating programme, launched Aug 2023 by MoRTH under AIS 197. Manufacturers volunteer models for frontal offset at 64 kmph, side barrier at 50 kmph and optional pole impact, earning 0-5 stars separately for adult and child occupant protection
Five stars needs 27 of 32 points on adult and 41 of 49 on child protection. Over 30 models have been rated
... Read more
Stage V emission norms
TREM Stage-V, India's tractor and farm-equipment emission standard, aligned with EU Stage V. Unlike TREM IV, which applied only above 50 HP from 2023, Stage V eventually covers every power category
The Central Motor Vehicles (Eleventh Amendment) Rules, 2026 set the phasing: 56-560 kW and 8-19 kW engines from 1 Oct 2026, 19-37 kW to Stage-IIIAA from Apr 2028 and Stage-V from Apr 2032, and 37-56 kW from Apr 2032
... Read more
National Vehicle Scrappage Policy
The Voluntary Vehicle Modernisation Programme, launched Aug 2021, phasing out unfit vehicles through Automated Testing Stations that assess fitness and Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities that dismantle them
Vehicles past 15 years must pass a fitness test or be scrapped. A Certificate of Deposit unlocks road-tax rebates of 25% on private and 15% on commercial vehicles, registration-fee waiver and manufacturer discounts
... Read more
AC-cabin mandate
MoRTH notification requiring an air-conditioning system in the driver cabin of all N2 and N3 category trucks manufactured on or after 1 Oct 2025, tested to IS 14618:2022. N2 covers 3.5-12 tonnes GVW and N3 above 12 tonnes
First proposed in 2016 and deferred repeatedly on cost objections, it covers most medium and heavy goods vehicles in India
... Read more
Qualification lock-in - winding wire (EV & AC motor approvals)
Enamelled copper wire - magnet wire - is the conductor wound into motors, transformers and compressors, insulated with a thermally stable coating rather than PVC. Grades are specified by temperature class and enamel chemistry to IS 13730
Supplying an EV traction motor or air-conditioner compressor maker requires customer-specific qualification covering enamel adhesion, thermal endurance and dimensional consistency, tested on the customer's own winding lines
... Read more
Television Ratings Policy 2026
Notified by MIB in Mar 2026, replacing the Television Rating Agencies Guidelines 2014. It requires every ratings agency to obtain fresh registration before publishing audience data, and adds governance, audit, transparency, security-clearance and expanded metered-home obligations
The framework empowers graded penalties, from suspension of ratings to cancellation of registration for repeated non-compliance
... Read more
TRP freeze / Ratings Policy 2026
The tv/ott/fm view of the ratings blackout. What began as a news-channel suspension in Mar 2026 was widened around Jul 2026 to every genre - entertainment, movies, sports, kids and infotainment - until BARC re-registers under the Television Ratings Policy 2026
General entertainment had continued to receive ratings through the earlier phase, so the extension was the point at which the freeze became universal
... Read more
IS 1786 rebar standard & BIS quality control orders
IS 1786 is the Indian Standard for high-strength deformed steel bars, specifying grades Fe 415 to Fe 600, chemistry limits, rib geometry and dimensional tolerance. BIS certification with the ISI mark is mandatory for TMT sold in India
Quality Control Orders extend mandatory certification to imported steel as well, so foreign mills must obtain BIS licences to supply the Indian market
... Read more
FGD retrofit mandate
Flue Gas Desulphurisation equipment removes sulphur dioxide from thermal plant emissions, mandated under 2015 norms with deadlines extended several times. Retrofitting an operating plant is a major capital and outage exercise
Policy has since moved toward a differentiated approach based on plant location and coal sulphur content rather than universal application
... Read more
Qualification lock-in - electrical equipment (type approval)
Utilities require equipment to pass type tests at accredited laboratories and the manufacturer to be prequalified with proven supply references before it can bid. Approvals are voltage-class and product-specific
BIS certification adds a parallel mandatory layer for many products
... Read more
Qualification lock-in - pumps & valves (nuclear & process codes)
Supplying pumps, valves and equipment to nuclear, defence, refinery and critical process applications requires certification to codes such as ASME, API and atomic energy standards, plus customer audits and demonstrated supply history
Qualification is product and application specific and takes years
... Read more
Qualification lock-in - oilfield tubulars (API standards)
Drill pipe, collars and tubulars certified to American Petroleum Institute specifications for oil and gas drilling. Certification covers material, threading, inspection and traceability
It is a distinct business from mining drilling equipment, serving upstream energy rather than minerals
... Read more
CPCB IV+ transition
Emission standards for generator sets from 19 kW to 800 kW, effective Jul 2023, replacing CPCB II with a single benchmark regardless of fuel. Compliance requires electronic fuel injection, selective catalytic reduction and diesel particulate filters
It targets roughly 90% reductions in particulate matter and NOx
... Read more
FSSAI food & nutraceutical regulation
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India regulates food, health supplements and nutraceuticals - licensing manufacturers, approving ingredients and additives, setting labelling and claim rules, and enforcing residue and contaminant limits
Ayurveda Aahara standards created a defined category for ayurvedic foods within the same framework, and export consignments face additional testing on residues
... Read more
AYUSH licensing pathway
The Ministry of AYUSH licenses ayurvedic, siddha, unani and homoeopathic products as traditional medicines, through state licensing authorities, under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act rather than food law
It permits traditional-use claims that food regulation would not allow, with different testing, formulation and labelling requirements
... Read more
ETO export rejections
Ethylene oxide is used as a fumigant to reduce microbial load in spices, but is banned or tightly limited as a residue in the EU, Hong Kong, Singapore and elsewhere. Detections trigger product recalls, consignment rejections and import alerts
Indian spice exports faced significant scrutiny after high-profile detections
... Read more
Contract manufacturing - specialty chemicals (CRAMS)
Contract research and manufacturing for global pharmaceutical and agrochemical innovators, requiring multi-year customer audits, regulatory filings and demonstrated process capability. Effluent treatment compliance is a major cost and a common cause of plant shutdown in Indian chemical clusters
State pollution boards enforce discharge norms with closure powers
... Read more
REACH registration (EU chemicals regulation)
Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals requires any substance placed on the EU market above one tonne a year to be registered with a dossier on identity, hazard and safe use. Substances of very high concern face authorisation or restriction
Non-EU manufacturers register through an Only Representative established in the EU
... Read more
OEKO-TEX certification for textiles
A voluntary testing and certification system for textiles and their inputs, verifying that an article contains no harmful substances above defined limits. Global apparel brands specify it in their sourcing standards
Certification applies at article level and must be renewed, with the whole chain from dye and auxiliary to finished fabric expected to comply
... Read more
Leather substitution & compliance
Footwear demand is shifting toward athleisure and sports styles built from synthetic and textile uppers rather than leather. Tanneries face strict effluent norms with closure powers, and raw hide availability is constrained by cattle slaughter restrictions
Quality control orders now mandate BIS standards on footwear
... Read more
Contract manufacturing - pharma CDMO (qualification & concentration)
Contract development and manufacturing for pharmaceutical innovators requires regulator-approved facilities, multi-year customer audits and validated processes. China-plus-one sourcing has widened the opportunity
Capacity is fixed and capital-heavy, so utilisation determines margin
... Read more
Technical textile qualification & penetration
Engineered fabrics sold on performance rather than appearance - geotextiles for roads and embankments, agro-textiles for crop protection, medical and hygiene non-wovens, protective and industrial fabrics. Each application requires specification testing and customer qualification
Indian penetration is far below developed markets
... Read more
Quality Control Orders (QCO) regime
Quality Control Orders make conformity to an Indian Standard and BIS certification mandatory for a listed product, applying equally to domestic manufacture and imports. Hundreds of QCOs now cover steel, chemicals, polymers, textiles, footwear, toys, electronics and machinery
Foreign manufacturers must obtain a BIS licence for the specific factory, which takes months
... Read more
CAFE-III fuel efficiency norms
Corporate Average Fuel Economy norms cap a manufacturer's fleet-average CO2 per km rather than regulating each model. CAFE-II, effective 2022, set 113 g/km against 130 g/km under CAFE-I
Draft CAFE-III was circulated on 16 Jul 2026 for M1 passenger vehicles from FY2027-28 to FY2031-32, with a market-based compliance-credit mechanism priced at Rs 2,500 per credit rising annually, and an exemption below 1,000 vehicles a year
... Read more
Non-stick coating & PFAS restrictions
Non-stick cookware is coated with PTFE, one of a family of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. The EU has moved to restrict PFAS across uses and several jurisdictions have already acted on PFAS in food-contact articles
Indian makers sell non-stick into both the domestic market and export channels, so coating chemistry is a market-access question as much as a product one
... Read more
Wood panel Quality Control Orders (plywood, MDF, particle board)
Two orders made BIS certification mandatory for wood-based panels - the Wood Based Boards order from 11 February 2025 and the Plywood and Wooden Flush Door Shutters order from 28 February 2025. Only foreign manufacturers holding a valid BIS licence may ship into India
Panel imports ran at about Rs 3,431 crore in FY25, plywood roughly three-quarters of that
... Read more
Quality Control Orders - footwear
Mandatory BIS certification for footwear covers 13 categories including leather, rubber and polymeric footwear and sports shoes across performance tiers, in force since 1 August 2024. Manufacturers and importers must hold a licence and mark product before sale
