The Central Government has cancelled the quality-control order that applied to several polyester fibres and yarns. Earlier, manufacturers and importers had to get Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification before selling these products in India.
The textile industry had long asked for this rule to be removed, saying it raised costs and made it harder to get raw materials. The decision is expected to lower production costs, make sourcing easier, and improve export prospects, especially for the man-made fibre segment.
The move is part of the government’s wider plan to simplify quality-control rules and make Indian manufacturing more competitive. It will also help attract new investments in the textile value chain.
