iPhone, Smart TV, Microwave…: India beating China in every sector, it is happening because…
Mumbai: After dominating China in iPhone manufacturing, India is gearing up to dominate China in electronic household items, mainly in Smart TVs and microwave ovens. Along with this, some special electronic items are also being made in India. Earlier, electronic items such as robot vacuum cleaners, coffee makers, built-in refrigerators, and air fryers were completely imported from China. People familiar with the industry stated that it is happening because the government has increased the list of electronic items. As per the government’s new guidelines, factories making these items will have to get a certificate from BIS. BIS’s Quality Control Order (QCO) means that the goods coming from China and other places can be controlled and production in India can be promoted.
In the past eight to nine months, the Quality Control Order (QCO) has overseen a significant increase in the regulation of specialized goods. Previously, many companies claimed the domestic market for these products was too limited to justify profitable Indian manufacturing.

What Are The Changes Made In The Rules?
According to Atul Lala, who is the managing director of Dixon technologies, stated that the BIS regulations have brought a big change. Premium brands are now planning to manufacture small appliances in India, irrespective of small market. Dixon has recently joined hands with Eureka Forbes to make robot vacuum cleaners.
German-Swiss multinational equipment manufacturer Liebherr has established a plant in Aurangabad to manufacture built-in refrigerators. The production started in April.
BIS Certification
Major contract manufacturer PG Electroplast initially stopped small appliance production due to limited market opportunities. But BIS QCO certification for various appliances, with increased inquiries from brands, has motivated the company to restart the production of small home appliances.
The government’s recent mandate that has impacted products like ACs, refrigerators, and electrical components has created a major barrier for foreign manufacturers who lacks BIS certification. This has boosted the domestic production.
