<h1>India Eases Quality Control Rules for Cookware and Cans; Implementation Delayed to 2025 to Boost Manufacturing.</h1> The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has announced relaxations in the Quality Control Order (QCO) for cookware, utensils, and cans to improve ease of doing business. Exemptions are provided for very small micro-enterprises, import of filled cans, and research and development purposes. The implementation of the QCO has been postponed to April 2025 for large and medium manufacturers, July 2025 for small enterprises, and October 2025 for micro-enterprises. These measures aim to help domestic manufacturers align with quality standards, boosting India's position as a manufacturing hub for high-quality goods.
