Expanded small-scale industry list: additional product codes added to broaden eligibility for statutory supportive measures and exemptions.
Central Government amends the notified Order by inserting additional product codes and item descriptions into the Appendix to expand the list of goods treated as produced by small-scale and ancillary undertakings-covering food, plastics, extensive dye categories, glass and ceramics, tiles, ceramic tableware, laboratory glassware, lime and plaster, selected auto parts, and the drugs and pharmaceuticals sector-thereby making producers of those items eligible for supportive measures, exemptions and favourable treatment under the Industries (Development and Regulation) Act; the amendment takes effect upon Gazette publication.
