India Enforces New Quality Control Order on Aluminum Imports, Requiring BIS Certification

2026 03/25

India has introduced a new regulatory policy targeting aluminum imports, adding stricter compliance requirements for both domestic and overseas manufacturers. According to reports from The Mint, the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) officially issued a new Quality Control Order (QCO) on March 13.

Under this regulation, all aluminum and aluminum alloy products sold in India must comply with standards set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and obtain the required certification license.

The scope of the QCO covers a wide range of aluminum products, including aluminum alloy tubes for irrigation, EC-grade aluminum rods for electrical conductors, aluminum foil for pharmaceutical packaging, aluminum composite panels, corrugated aluminum sheets, and forged aluminum products used in engineering and electrical applications.

This policy significantly raises the entry barrier for exporters and is expected to impact global aluminum supply chains. Manufacturers who fail to meet BIS certification requirements may face restrictions when entering the Indian market.

For global suppliers, especially those offering aluminum extrusion profiles and customized aluminum components, compliance with international standards is becoming increasingly important when expanding into regulated markets like India.

Additionally, products used in infrastructure, transportation, and industrial systems—such as precision CNC aluminum parts and structural aluminum components—must ensure consistent quality and certification readiness to remain competitive.

The introduction of this QCO reflects India’s broader strategy to strengthen domestic manufacturing and ensure product quality across industries. At the same time, it creates both challenges and opportunities for international aluminum suppliers.

Companies with strong technical capabilities, stable production systems, and experience in handling global certifications will be better positioned to adapt to these regulatory changes.

If you are planning to export aluminum products to India, ensuring BIS compliance is now essential.
