FIEO Urges Government Support for In-House Testing Facilities at Export Units
The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) has urged the government to support exporters in establishing in-house product testing facilities at their factories, subject to regulatory approval. FIEO President S C Ralhan highlighted that this move could reduce reliance on shared testing centers, which often cause delays and confidentiality concerns, and help exporters meet international delivery schedules. He noted that in-house labs could lower testing costs, enhance operational efficiency, and align with quality standards required by importing countries, citing similar practices in the US.
