India to Ease BIS Certification for High-Tech Manufacturers to Boost Production
India plans to ease Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification requirements for high-tech manufacturers, including semiconductor and AI firms, to support domestic manufacturing. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal announced a framework offering exemptions at company, product, or project levels to ensure timely supply of equipment and components. The move aims to attract investment, deepen India-Japan cooperation, and boost the semiconductor sector, with government incentives and regulatory amendments expected within two months to facilitate manufacturing growth.
