India is implementing a broad standardization drive with mandatory Quality Control Orders (QCOs) for numerous products, including toys, electronics, and steel, aiming to ensure safety and quality. While essential for economic growth and strengthening domestic manufacturing, the rapid expansion of QCOs has outpaced testing capacity, leading to import delays and confusion. Experts suggest a calibrated approach, aligning regulatory pace with testing infrastructure and clear guidelines, is crucial for effective implementation and to support the 'Make in India' initiative.
