India Seizes ₹70 Lakh Worth of Uncertified Products from Amazon, Flipkart Warehouses

The Bureau of Indian Standards intensifies enforcement of quality control standards as US-India trade negotiations progress.

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) raided Amazon and Flipkart warehouses in Delhi, confiscating products lacking mandatory ISI certification or carrying fake labels.
Seized items, including geysers, food mixers, and sports shoes, are valued at approximately ₹70 lakh (around $81,561).
This marks the latest in a series of March 2025 raids targeting non-compliant products, with earlier operations conducted in Tamil Nadu and other locations.
India's BIS mandates compliance with certification norms for 769 product categories, with violations punishable under the BIS Act, 2016.
Amazon and Flipkart assert adherence to local laws but have not directly addressed the recent seizures.
