The Indian government has withdrawn quality control orders (QCO) for seven more petrochemicals, including two aromatics products, to continue easing the burden on domestic manufacturers.
The Indian government has withdrawn quality control orders (QCO) for seven more petrochemicals, including two aromatics products, to continue easing the burden on domestic manufacturers.
Effective 28 November, import certification will no longer be required for paraxylene (PX), toluene, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), ethylene dichloride and vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), the country’s Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers said in a notification dated 28 November.
QCO refers to import certification being required under the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
India had previously issued QCOs on the seven chemicals in 2021, mandating manufacturers and importers of these chemicals to obtain BIS certification, to be able to sell their products in the Indian market.
On 12 November 2025, India rescinded QCOs on 14 chemicals, including polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
Earlier, in July, the government withdrew the BIS requirements for methanol, acetic acid and aniline.
The withdrawal of the QCOs is expected to boost domestic production, especially for the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME), which accounts for nearly 36% of the India’s manufacturing sector.
The QCOs have affected India’s competitiveness in manufacturing, primarily of MSMEs as these restricted supply chains, and increased costs of imported raw materials such as polymers, rubber, chemicals, fibers and metals.
In the first seven months of the current fiscal year (April-October 2025), India’s industrial output growth has slowed down to 2.7% from 4.0% in the previous corresponding period, official data showed.
