India Sets Quality Norms for Smartphone Screen Protectors to Support Domestic Manufacturing
India has established sufficient domestic manufacturing capacity for smartphone screen protectors, according to Electronics and Information Technology Secretary S Krishnan. The government recently included these products under mandatory quality norms effective April 1, 2027, to prevent substandard imports from undermining local producers. Manufacturers have until March 31, 2027, to comply with the new Indian Standard. This move aims to support quality domestic production and protect the market from low-quality imports amid growing industry investments.
