The Indian Department of Consumer Affairs has mandated standard packaging sizes for edible oils to enhance price transparency for consumers. Under the revised Standard Operating Procedure (SoP), manufacturers, packers, and importers have three months to comply with the new regulations. The initiative prescribes nine standard sizes, including 200 ml/g, 500 ml/g, and up to 20 litre/kg, applicable to major edible oils such as palm, soybean, sunflower, and mustard oil. These changes follow extensive consultations with industry associations that represent nearly 90% of the edible oil sector. Additionally, packages under 200 ml or 200 grams are exempt to ensure that affordable small packs remain available. The new norms also require that if the quantity is indicated in volume, the equivalent weight must be stated, adhering to the Legal Metrology (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 2011. Industry leaders, including Sudhakar Desai, have welcomed these changes, stating that they will bring clarity to retail shelves and correct market distortions caused by non-standardized packaging practices.
