Centre scraps rollout date, a day after withdrawing 14 QCOs for imported petrochemicals and industrial raw materials.
A day after scrapping 14 quality control orders for mostly imported petrochemicals and industrial raw materials, the Centre has also left open the implementation date of another key regulation—the Machinery and Electrical Equipment Safety (Omnibus Technical Regulation) Order, 2024.
The heavy industries ministry has issued a fresh amendment to scrap the implementation date of 1 September 2026, signalling another pause in India’s recent push to tighten technical standards across sectors, as per a government notification issued on Friday.
