DPIIT gives small rubber footwear units another year to meet BIS quality norms
Compliance deadline for micro and small non-leather footwear makers under the mandatory BIS Quality Control Order has been pushed to July 31, 2027. DPIIT also cleared duty-free import of up to 4,500 pairs annually for non-commercial R&D, easing pressure on smaller manufacturers still ramping up testing infrastructure.
