Mandatory registration mooted for veg oil units
Business Standard
|July 09, 2025
Amid rising edible oil prices, the central government has proposed changes to the Vegetable Oil Products, Production and Availability (Regulation) Order of 2011 (VOPPA) that seeks to regulate all producers and sellers of vegetable oil or any related product, including solvent-extracted oil through modern methods.
The proposal, issued a few days ago, also includes mandatory registration and penalties for those who fail to register on time. It has sparked concern among a section of the edible oil industry, who fears it could lead to excessive regulation and a return to the "license raj" era.
The amendments shall empower the Directorate of Sugar and Vegetable Oils (DVSO) in the food ministry to set the maximum or minimum usage limits of any vegetable oil in the production of any or all vegetable oil products.
