DPIIT issues guidelines to operationalise transition facilitation order for quality certification

New guidelines from DPIIT now offer companies an alternative pathway for product quality certification under ten selected Quality Control Orders. This new mechanism, detailed in the Transition Facilitation (Quality Control) Order, 2026, allows businesses to seek exemptions by providing comprehensive details on their goods, manufacturing facilities, and plans for developing supply chain capabilities in India. An Implementation Committee will assess applications without physical verification of manufacturing units.
