What happened
The Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) called on the government to allow exporters to establish in-house product testing facilities, provided they receive regulatory approval. FIEO President S C Ralhan stated this move would help speed up certification and ensure timely shipments to overseas markets. He noted that current testing charges at outside centers can range from ₹10-12 lakh per year.
Why it matters
FIEO argues that allowing internal testing would reduce reliance on common facilities, which often cause delays and raise concerns over product confidentiality. This change is presented as a way to improve the competitiveness of Indian exports by lowering costs and meeting international buyer deadlines.
