The introduction of the online FMCS portal is expected to streamline certification workflows making it faster and more efficient to achieve Indian compliance.

This move aligns with BIS’s broader push toward digital transformation, helping foreign manufacturers navigate regulatory requirements with improved efficiency and reduced administrative burden.

Industry Impact

Manufacturers targeting the Indian market can now benefit from:

• Faster application handling
