Promoting Indian Quality: Goyal Discusses QCOs

Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal emphasizes that quality control orders (QCOs) are designed to enhance quality awareness, not burden industries. Recent withdrawals of QCOs on certain goods reflect this commitment. Goyal assures that the government is open to addressing any issues arising from these standards.

Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal affirmed on Tuesday that the government's quality control orders (QCOs) aim to foster a culture of quality consciousness rather than impose any undue burden on domestic industries.

Goyal urged stakeholders to approach the government with any challenges related to QCOs, promising a collaborative approach to resolving issues. His comments came after the government's decision to withdraw QCOs on numerous goods, including key chemicals, polymers, and fiber-based materials, supporting their initiative to highlight and elevate Indian quality standards globally.

The minister stressed the importance of building a reputation for Indian quality that is recognized and respected worldwide, showcasing the government's commitment to promoting quality without stifling industry growth.
