<h1>India's toy industry shifts from import-dependent to exporting globally with government support and quality standards</h1> India's toy industry has transformed from import-dependent to exporting to 153 countries, according to the Union Minister of Commerce and Industry. The shift resulted from policy support, quality standards enforcement, and local manufacturing cluster strengthening. Quality Control Order implementation helped domestic manufacturers meet global benchmarks. The minister emphasized India's 1.4 billion population provides a vast domestic market advantage for scaling manufacturing and achieving cost efficiency. To capture global markets, the industry must focus on branding, packaging, and product design. The government plans introducing a new promotional scheme to enhance design capabilities, quality manufacturing, packaging, and brand building for toy manufacturers.
