The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has undertaken major reforms to enhance the ease of doing business in India, aiming to transform the country into a global manufacturing hub. Over the past decade, the number of products requiring mandatory certification has surged from 106 in 2014 to over 720 by April 2026. These reforms focus on simplifying compliance processes, making them faster and more predictable without compromising quality standards. Key changes include extending certification validity to five years, allowing shared testing facilities, and implementing a risk-based surveillance model that reduces factory inspections for compliant companies. Financial relief is also significant, with micro enterprises enjoying an 80% fee reduction until May 2029. In FY 2025-26, BIS issued over 10,000 certifications, with 95% processed within 30 days, reflecting improved efficiency. This strategic approach not only enhances product quality and safety but also positions India favorably in global markets, ensuring that both large and small manufacturers can compete effectively. The BIS reforms signify a shift from regulatory control to supportive frameworks, fostering a competitive manufacturing environment.
